Maja i Bukanikut

A hike to Maja e Bukanikut, the highpoint of the Mali i Shpatit (Shpat Mountain Range), 

From the summit of Bukanikut, one can see down to Elbasan and - depending on weather and visibility - the Adriatic Sea. Bukanik is for Elbasan what Dajti is for Tirana.

It should be possible, in case no 4WD is available to reach the trailhead, to walk from Gjinar to the summit of Bukanik. The return trip may take the best of a day, though there are many refreshments available in Gjinar following a succesful trip!

You can follow the hike up with a long drive down to the Holta Gorge. Some say that no human being ever managed to walk through the canyon from one end to the other.
