The Canyons of Osumi
The Cave of Pirrogoshi lies
near the village of Radeshi,
midways to the valley of Os-
umi, in the stream of Çoro-
voda. Pirrogoshi is the biggest
and longest cave in Albania,
stretching almost 1,500 m. The
entrance is 5 m wide. The most
interesting part of the cave is
the giant corridor full of many
different Carstic shapes. The
cave ends with a deep well full
of bat colonies.
Gradeci Canyon,
the most
beautiful and spectacular can-
yon of the valley of Osumi,
stands close to the cave. It is 4
km long, 40 m high, and in di-
fferent spots, only 1.5 m wide.
Its slopes descend rapidly into
the river.
To reach the other canyons of
Osumi, you will journey south-
ward. These other canyons are
located 3 km south from the
town of Çorovoda. They are
natural magnificent objects
with a total length of 15 km.
In this area, you can practice
water sports like canoeing and
kayaking. There are also seve-
ral spots that serve as small
beaches, such as Varishta.
