Kalofsh Mirë on Korbit Mountain

You would not necessarily associate Korbit Mountain with ice-crusted mountaineers dangling from taut ropes. For a starter, with about 540 meter altitude it is not of memorable height, especially as an easy 4WD road leads to the village of Shpatë at 360 meter. And then the path is wide most of the time, though you can build in as many difficulties as you wish.

But after weeks of pounding rain, with the sun coming out though much of the underfoot still soaked, Korbit is a good energizer. Unlike many other destinations, Korbit is cultivated to the top, and you may meet one or the other villagers busy riding up and down to their fields - always extending a warm greeting and departing with a Kalofsh Mirë. They seem to be aware how lovely their old olive orchards are - and to be glad that you are here.
