hash 718 - kruje summit

Reminders

Reminder 1 We leave at 11:30 AM from Archea Bar aka France98 (behind pizza Kolonat). There are no hash fees, it's free for all, BUT - bring your own water, food, and other drinks. We will supply beer and bulk water (no small water bottles)

Reminder 2: If you invite newbies (hash "virgins") to come to the hash, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure they are familiar with hash procedures and that they understand the trail markings. The easiest way to do this is to have them read our notes on common sense hashing posted on this website. You should also stay with them to make sure they don't get lost!

Post-hash reminder If you upload pictures from the hash to the internet, please use your common sense to judge whether the people appearing on those pictures would object to having them published. Let's not make the paparazzis' job easier.

Where: The TOP of Mt. Kruje. We've all been to Kruje, but this is your chance to experience something special!

Description: On the summit of Mt. Kruje, directly above the town, there is a Bektashi shrine and pilgrimage site. The trail to the summit is steep but not difficult. The owner of the Panorama restaurant says he can hike from the Panorama to the top in 30 minutes! My best time so far has been 40 minutes. It's a beautiful hike with fantastic views in all directions. On a clear day you can see Vlore.

NOTE: The shrine is a Bektashi holy place, so if you visit, please treat it with the utmost respect. The shrine itself is inside a cave just to the left of the building at the summit.

Although the trail to the top is not difficult (I've seen kids on it), if you want a REALLY easy walk, you will follow the gravel road around the north side. It eventually gets to the summit, but you will not have time to go there. The views are just as nice, especially of the valley to the north and northeast of Mt. Kruje.

After the hash we will have lunch in the Panorama restaurant.
