The journey starts from the small town of Bajram Curri which is situated at 350 m above sea level. A city with historical values that bears the name of Bajram Curri, an Albanian national hero. The city has two statues, the statue of Bajram Curri and the statue of Azem Hajdari. The beauty of this city is added by the museum located in the centre of the town. It has a lot of shops to buy foods and necessary things for the trip. We start biking through the asphalted road for about 10 km, which leads us up to the village of Markaj. The colourful nature of the village and the aroma of the wonderful medicinal plants accompanies you while cycling. The village of Markaj nestled in between huge chestnuts plantation is a hidden gem. As we bike through the gravel road, we will reach an elevation of about 1100m up to Kolsh pass.
