Osum Canyon
Kanionet e Osumit
One of Albania's most spectacular canyons, where the Osum River has carved a limestone gorge about 13 km long and tens of meters deep. Rafting in spring is the most popular activity.
Osum Canyon lies near Gjorovodë in the Skrapar region, about 70 km from Berat, a drive of roughly 1.5–2 hours. The canyon walls are sheer, and in the rainy season waterfalls pour off the cliff tops. Along the rim are a glass viewing platform and several lookouts. From March to May, when the water is high, you can take a raft trip through the canyon. In summer, when the river is shallow, you can walk, wade, or swim along the canyon floor. It is often combined with Bogova Waterfall as a day trip, and Berat hotels can arrange group tours or a private car.
