Description

Our adventure begins at the Tourist Infopoint - Infokulla, where we delve into the rich tapestry of the region's past and present. From tales of peasant life to insights into the unique nuances of the Mirdita ethnoregion, prepare to be captivated by intriguing facts that set the stage for our exploration. After visiting Infokulla, our next destination is the Spaç prison, a reminder of oppression and suffering from Albania's not-so-distant past. As we start our trip, our cars drive carefully on the winding canyon road, just like how history has been full of ups and downs. With each turn, we get nearer to the Spaç prison, which used to be a place where people suffered a lot during the time of Hoxha's rule. Our journey continues along a narrow mountain road, ascending to the tranquil heights of Gurth Spaç at an elevation of 950 meters. Here, a world of serenity and beauty unfolds before our eyes. Nestled amidst the enchanting landscapes, the Natura Magica Spaç Guesthouse beckons us with its warm embrace, offering respite and rejuvenation in a setting of unparalleled splendor. Amidst the majestic mountains and pristine nature, we find solace, reminding us that light and beauty endure even in the darkest of times.
