Gorica Hill Hiking Tour

At the appointed time, we'll meet in front of the Mangalemi Hotel in Berat to start the Gorica hill hiking route. This tour connects you with nature as we explore the inland region of Albania and ascend Gorica hill.

We will begin by leaving the historic centre of Berat, experiencing the first light of day as we enter the fields surrounding the so-called city of a thousand windows.

During the climb, enjoy the panoramic views of Berat - cameras ready! From the hill, you'll see the entire neighbourhood on the opposite bank of the river, Mangalem.

This area is known for its stone houses, and from this point, you can admire its architecture featuring typical rectangular windows. We will continue our route through fields of flowers and vines to the highest part of Gorica hill until we reach the top.

A photo break will be taken before we begin our descent down the opposite side of the hill. This section offers views of the surrounding valleys, where oil and wine are produced. We will also pass the Gorica Bridge, a symbol of Berat.

The route concludes after approximately six hours, returning to the meeting point.
