Rutebeskrivelse

On no other trail as many hikers get lost as to Fusha e Denellit (Field of Denelli) on 1620m. Orientation is difficult even for those equipped with the guidebook "Thethi & Kelmend", in which the hike isn't described in the best possible way.
The path is often covered with leaves and several junctions await. We're still rating it as one of the nicest walks with nice views of the village, exciting cliff section and opportunity to see the traditional semi-nomadic lifestyle that was dominant few years ago.

Our track starts near Pavlin Polia's guesthouse close to the church, goes through the Ulaj neighbourhood, crosses two bridges and then starts to ascend through the forest on a donkey path. Once you arrive at the first plateau stop for a rest and enjoy the views back to the village where you started.
From here one follows a path in the cliffs (invisible from the village bottom, so that no one would ever guess that such a way exists) with beautiful views of Theth and down to Nderlysa.
At one point you cross a dry riverbed and enter the forest, the path winds up the hill and the forest clears again with views of towering Maja e Drenit above the Fusha.

From beginning of July till mid-August two shepherd families can be found in the stan (summer pasture) of Fusha e Denellit. Indulge on their delicious fresh dairy products but please leave a small compensation even though they may initially refuse to accept it; you could for example pass it to the kids in front of everyone, this is socially accepted.

It's possible to walk from here via Qafa Boshit or Kakise into Curraj Valley, for any of these walks we highly recommend a guide (see separate trail (Curraj - Theth). You can also tackle from here Maja e Drenit, other peaks in the massif around Maja e Kakise will probably require you to camp out at Fusha e Denellit due to the distance.

The walk talks by estimation around 6:15h, or one way up 3:45h. The track was recorded when guiding a group.

    Nice trail if you want to avoid the crowded trail of blue eye.

    Tres bien balisé en montée , mais ai loupé les balises à deux reprises dans les rocailles au retour dans la descente (cf ma trace)
    Alpage tres beau et tranquille. Beaucoup de papillons et de libellules
