Lakeside Cycle Path at Grand Park of Tirana

Nice bike path, the whole park is worth it. However, you have to pass many, many pedestrians

View of the Elbasan Pass Descent

Highlight • Viewpoint

The whole route from Bradashesh roundabout on the Elbasan basin side over the pass and down again to Stathysa on the Tirana side is gorgeous. Gentle nice climbs, wonderful views, very good surface and almost no traffic. And every 5 km nice little bars to strengthen. The most beautiful route for us in all of Albania. Definitely go, it's worth it

View of Elbasan

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between Elbasan and Tirana are only connected by the highway and SH3. The SH3 leads over an 800m high mountain range. Serpentines uphill at km 15. Very wide view down into the Elbasan Valley with its industry and the many plastic greenhouses. The SH3 leads through wonderfully beautiful countryside. Very little traffic and little population. Every now and then you have to rescue a Greek tortoise that thinks it can get across the asphalt unscathed given the low traffic density. However, cracked tanks with crushed contents show that even in light traffic the saying applies: in the wrong place at the wrong time.

SH3 Pass Road Between Elbasan and Tirana

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The highway and SH3 are the direct connections between Elbasan and Tirana. The SH3 road leads over an 800m high mountain. The road behind Elbasan winds up in serpentines. Everything drives well. There is little traffic, beautiful scenery - every now and then you have to save a Greek tortoise so that it doesn't get broken and killed by the (few) cars.

When we left Tirana, the sun was back and so we headed towards the Albanian mountains. The road to Elbasan was fantastically beautiful, because it led over a mountain ridge from which one could see far over the hills and mountains in both directions. Shortly after Elbasan we looked for a place to sleep with a view of the sunset …

In the morning I went to a bunker museum with Sami, Tom Philipp and Marcel. It was quite interesting, but the structure was a bit confusing. We then had lunch together and then I set off around 2 p.m. I would have liked to have stayed longer because I really liked Tirana, but unfortunately my schedule is relatively tight at …
