Notes
Start: ~3–3.5 hrs drive to Fushë-Arrëz / Public transport: limited; likely bus toward Shkodër/Pukë + taxi last-mile. PENDING OUR INTERVIEW, we will verify the last-mile logistics, and look at recommendations for accommodation in the small guesthouses/hotels in the Fushë-Arrëz/Pukë area.
FAR
It’ll possibly take 3+ hours from the closest large airport to arrive. Plan your adventure accordingly, take an extra day for those after-race beers or Curranz.
