Unnamed Road
Been here?
This large, fairly level clearing beside the road to Përmet has views over the canyon and river, with the river audible at night. The access road is severely degraded, with steep sections, stones, potholes, mud and ruts. It can be a good option in dry weather, but recent reports found the entrance too muddy for some vehicles.

Great place for a stopover. The night was quiet, with only the river rushing. In the morning, locals occasionally drove past. But nobody minded that we were parked here.Translating
The beginning of the road is bumpy but manageable; then it became impossible for us to reach with our Trafic. The entrance to the spot was far too muddy, so we turned around.Translating
Great spot for an overnight stay with a fantastic view. We were alone here at the end of June. From the direction of Corovode, after the Osumi Canyon Bridge, it is only a few meters on the poor road to Përmet, which does not get any better afterward.Translating
It’s raining! The access road is badly deteriorated with a fairly steep slope. The spot is fairly flat but muddy in places with ruts. I played it safe, but in dry weather it’s a good option.Translating
Large, level area close to the road, with little traffic. Very beautiful view of the canyon and river—the beginning of the canyon. The road shown by Google from Përmet to this place is extremely difficult. Only a 4x4 with good ground clearance. We drove 37 km in four hours; the road climbs 950 meters, with one section even along a ridge.Translating
Great view and quiet at night. The site is on the old SH72, which is badly eroded. Access from Berat with a 6-meter van is possible without 4x4 if you drive carefully. Several tourists in rental small cars visited us on their way to Përmet. Some ignored our warning, then returned after a few minutes. A short walk leads to the riverbed, where swimming is possible.Translating
The access road has significant water scars after recent rains. Before entering, it is worth checking whether the car can handle it. The clearing is slightly flooded with water. You can stand in the right end. The views are wonderful.
Even coming from Berat, driving the last few hundred meters in was not an option for us. Large rocks and potholes now in November. From Përmet, it is only possible with a 4x4 anyway. The approach from Berat takes about two hours! Consider whether it is really worth it. Yes, the views into the gorge at the back are beautiful (there are three viewpoints along the road), but there are better-accessible wild camping spots in Albania.Translating
Really beautiful little place for one night. The road is not the best, but manageable.Translating
We did not drive down! It was too steep for us to drive back up on the gravel track. Walk the route first and then decide whether your 7-meter motorhome can make it back up.Translating
A brilliant place. In dry weather, we reached it easily with a 7-meter motorhome. The only visitors were a herd of goats with a shepherd, whom we treated to a beer. It is a five-minute walk down to the river. Great place for swimming toward the canyon. You are completely alone here under the starry sky.Translating
Beautiful, level place with a dreamlike view. Near the road, but with very little traffic. The canyon or river, suitable for swimming, is only a few minutes away by car. Attention: According to locals, access from Përmet or the south is impossible because of extreme potholes. Access via Berat is recommended. The valley is definitely worth it! There are various places to park.Translating
