Osum Canyon

During the spring, high water from melting snow makes it possible to explore the whole length of the gorge from the river.

Spring is also the best time to view the many waterfalls in the gorges, which thunder from above as explorers pass below on boats.

At the end of the summer, when the water is lower, the full length of the gorge is not navigable, but there are various walks with opportunities for swimming in various pools and streams.

The gorge is 26 km (16 miles) long, at an altitude of 450 m. They are thought to have been formed 2-3 million years ago by water erosion.

[2] The local inhabitants tell many interesting legends, such as those of Mulliri i Babait, Vrima e Nuses and Saint Abaz Ali.
