Tips
Summer is the time for hiking, and for a swim in the cool water; in winter the area lies under snow. One route starts near Padesh on the Kukës side, climbs along the Tropoja river by track and passes Lake Sylbica, which looks over Dashi and the small lakes around it. This is remote country, so take a GPS track and ask locally.
