Trail Razem – Fushe -Zeze – Boge (Shkrel)

Description of the trail from Razem to Boga via Fushe e Zeze

Razem is one of the nearest tourist attractions from Shkodra, which is only 43 km aways from it. It is a part of the administrative area of Shkrel and the municipality of "Malesia e Madhe", which literary means "Great Mountains". Indeed, the beauties of Mountains in Razem have been described in written form already in the 19th century - by the botanist Antonio Baldaci and the geologist Baroni Nopcsa. 

After 1900, not only shepherds used this place as a summer pasture but also Shkoda's merchants built their summer houses here as their living standard improved. In 1953 the Communit government took possession of this area and set up a recreation camp for workers. Excursions to the recreation camp were mainly made during winter. The recreation camp was used until the fall of communism in 1990. 

There is only one hiking trail from Razem to Fushë Zezë and then to Bogë, which goes along the road to the mountain huts and the telephone antennas. You need to stay on the road up until the pass "Qafa Keqe". After arriving at "Rrethi i Pistoletes" down in the valley, you will come across with the small village of Luis.

This village is inhabited only between spring and early autumn. Near this village, there is a cave called "Shpella Luis" and a mountain with the huts of Gromozhdoli. About 1.5 km after the village of Luis, you will reach "Gropa e Karrikave": literary “Chair pit” and after 800 m "Gropa e Thiut": literary “pig pit”. Part of this path forms a natural tunnel, which is why inhabitants call this spot "near the tunnel". After about 6 km from Razem, you will reach Fushë Zezë. Fushë Zezë extends among four peaks under the crown of Veleçik. The centuries-old beech and pine trees around make the special landscape. Here we can also leave the road and take the footpath on the right. You can oriente yourself with the telephone antennas as the way to Bogë runs on their right. When you reach the path, leave a building without a roof behind you on the right and then you will arrive at the opposite side of Bogë. When you continue the way down, the path leads to an area without a path; a forest damaged by forest fire with stones on the ground. In the summer months and early autumn, the grass grows too high to watch your steps. It is therefore necessary to equip yourself with sturdy shoes and long trousers to avoid injuries. After arriving at "Te Gomurt", the descent becomes even more difficult as the terrain becomes rocky. The rocks and stones are sharp-edged and breakaway easily. At the end of the slope you will have the possibility to finish the path towards Bogë centre along the brook bed or the road.
