Maja e Kulmakës

Maja e Kulmakes is next to Tomorri (with  Cuka e Partizanit  being the highest, and the south summit with the mausoleum of Abbas Aliu the second highest point). Even though the gaze of the tourist and adventurer is automatically drawn to Tomorri, Kulmakes is almost always in view.

With 2177 meters altitude, it is one of the big southern mountain. Because of its many karstic holes, it keeps the snow very long into spring. A bottomless hole is near waypoint Doline.

Access is facilitated through the Tomorri mountain road. From the turn off from the Tomorri road, the road might be difficult under unfavorable conditions. In this case, walk from the turn-off.

For most of the hike, the real summit is not in view. The summit of Kulmake can only be seen from the summit ridge. In contrast, the south summit of Tomorri is in full view most of the time.

From the top of Kulmakes, views in all directions abound. Mali i Ostrovices appears particularly close, with a rare view of its northern side. Going clockwise, one can see Gramos, Nemercke (Papingut), Cajupi,Dhembel, Strakovecit, Trebeshines, Shendelise, Kendervices, Gribes, Shpiragut, Tomorri, Bukanikut,Guri i Zi, and Valamares.
