This is a flexible day trip, built around lunch at one of our favourite village restaurants!
In the morning you have the option to stop at Bunk'Art 1 (tickets approx €5), and to take the Dajti Ekspres cable car up Mt Dajti (approx €8; the minivan comes up by road). If you choose, you can also climb to the peak of Mt Dajti (about 1h up, and 45 minutes down).

We'll spend about an hour exploring Bunk'Art 1 - the huge and top secret nuclear bunker built by the Communist regime (using Chinese cash and expertise). This is a great place to be in summer - it's deliciously cool!

Shengjergji Waterfall
Not too far from the Meat Shack is the waterfall of Shengjergj. The walk there is pretty easy, and takes about 10 minutes. This is a good option on a hot day as you can jump into the pool, but it might be crowded.
