The Cave of Pellumbas

Discover the fascinating Pellumbas Cave, also known as the Black Cave, nestled near Pellumbas village in Albania. Our journey begins with a scenic 35-minute car ride from Tirana to Pellumbas village, where we'll embark on a memorable hiking adventure. The well-marked path, of moderate difficulty, winds through a captivating landscape that includes lush forests, the tranquil Erzen River, the majestic Dajti Mountain, and breathtaking vistas of Tirana city. As we trek to the cave, soaking in the natural beauty, the journey takes approximately 1 hour. Upon reaching the cave entrance, we'll pause briefly to catch our breath before venturing inside. The cave's interior is expansive, resembling an underground mine. Illuminating our way with torches, we'll marvel at its unique and mesmerizing features. Pellumbas Cave is renowned in Europe for its six well-defined karst galleries, and it sits at an elevation of 350 meters, forming a tunnel that stretches an impressive 70-80 meters in length.

It was an amazing experience, my guide Riges was really experienced, generous and fun, we got to see the cave and bath in the river next to the canyon! The hike was quite easy (It was my second or third hike, so I'm a beginner tbh), and we had no problems at all! Just as a reminder, the water is freezing cold 🥶

I needed this adventure for my sole. I would have never done it and felt the joy of discovering without my gentle and smart guide. He used to play in these mountains when he was a child! A gentle reminder: Just wear your hiking shoes :)

The walk was very nice and beautiful. Our guide adapted well to our pace and we had a lot of fun with him. He also had a lot to say about Albania and almost always had answers to our questions. After walking for an hour we arrived at the cave. We walked in there for a while and it was special to see. The guide guided us well through the cave and helped us where necessary. After getting back to the car, we drove to the river. We didn't swim because it had rained. That was a shame, because it also made the tour shorter. It was really beautiful and fun.
Great hiking experience

Valter was an amazing guide! The hike is a bit arduous - not for beginners but fantastic. Swimming in the canyon was a highlight, along with eating at a local restaurant afterward and chatting with some of the local villagers. Highly recommend this experience. Thank you!!
Hard but worth it. The fearless guide

Amazing nature, with an amazing and fearless guide. A very hard hike in the heat, not for the fainthearted, but its worth the pain after! We saw waterfalls, the cave, and climbed a lot of rocks.
Best hiking experience ever

I’m gonna try and keep this review short, simple and to the point. I was very ill on the day we began, vomited multiple times, felt like passing at at various stages due to suffering from a bad cold. Our tour guide carried me, made sure I was ok, helped with my sickness and pretty much saved my life, WHILST at the same time making it so enjoyable with the history and facts. We did the whole thing. The guy that took us is a legend.

You have a wonderfull (mountains, river) scenery along the path towards (and also backwards) the cave. The cave is impressive in dimension and (rock) formation. Heldi is a great, reliable guide and could tell you quite a lot things about nature and history of albania. He was very helpfull and assisted whenever you asked it. Only he could have gone deeper with into the cave.. Pick up and drop off were prefect.
Beautiful natyre and a wanderful experience
