CASCADE DE SOPOTI

This 20-meter-high waterfall (Ujëvara e Sopotit) enjoys a superb setting. It is located on the left bank of the Vjosa, at the foot of the 2,485-metre-high Nëmërçka massif. To reach it, it's a 2-hour walk (or an hour's drive by car, on a carriage road) from the hamlet of Strëmbec (population approx. 20), reached by an old cable-stayed bridge. The river Sopoti falls here at an altitude of 600 metres. The water for this cascade comes from the Nëmërçka glacier.
