Bridge Over Stream on the Way to the Waterfall

Highlight • Bridge

On the way to the waterfall, a small stream opens up with a bridge, a wonderful spot for a break. After that, we didn't want to continue to the waterfall and headed back down.

June 12, 2023,Valbona-Tal/Albanien: zum Rragam-Wasserfall und zurück

The weather apps predicted rain, so I went on a hike that allows for a quick return on easy trails. I only planned it up to the handful of houses in Rragam, but then I saw the waterfall and went a little further.

The rain started at 12:55 p.m., long after I got back to the camper van.
