Spectacular view

Highlight • Viewpoint

The trail is easy to follow, red paint blazes mark the way at the bottom close to town, after that it’s easy. The bottom most portion of the trail was the worst but 100m or so in it’s quite wide and easy to manage. There are steps/ledges in the steeper parts. Exposed to the sun, spf50!

Mountain spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

A sweet little spring trickling out of the mountain. A basin was built to catch it and it had a few inches of water in it along with many tadpoles. Bees could be seen visiting for a drink. A plaque was cut into the wall but I could not read it.

Sari Salltiku Temple and Cave

Highlight • Religious Site

A few steps down, you'll find a small cave where candles are lit. Further down, ice-cold water flows directly from the mountain. It's not particularly spectacular, but it's still very unexpected and definitely worth the detour.

September 16, 2023,Wanderung von Kruja zum Tempel auf dem Kruja-Berg

It was a really steep and strenuous climb for us (47 and 60 😉) at 27 degrees. We were grateful for every rock or tree that gave us brief shade while we were regulating our pulse. The looks make up for it and once you get to the top it is a place of pilgrimage for Muslims (but we were …
