Osum Canyon and Mount Shpirag

While Osum Canyon is primarily celebrated for its dramatic river-carved cliffs, nearby Mount Shpirag offers a fantastic addition to any nature lover’s itinerary. Shpirag is steeped in Albanian folklore, with legends linking it to its counterpart, Mount Tomorr. The two peaks are said to represent feuding brothers, their story woven into the region’s cultural identity.

Hiking trails around Mount Shpirag offer serene landscapes with views over Berat, the “City of a Thousand Windows,” and the stunning Osum Canyon. Visitors can combine a visit to the mountain with water-based adventures in the canyon, such as rafting or kayaking, creating a dynamic outdoor experience.
