| After staying overnight at sheperd hut on a meadows high above Cerem on Albanian side, invited by extremely hospitable couple of elderly hosts we climbed Qafa Borit first to find the trailhead hidden in rocky maze then. Passing picturesque ice cave and reaching Qafa Preslopit saddle soon from where we traversed some exposed grassy terrain losing the right, marked path for a few moments, continuing our climb through steep and vast system of grass-rocky ledges to the pass between two Kolatas. Finding out which of those two prominent summits is the higher one can be quite problematic for the first visit here and we, misled by advice of one Slovenian guide met on the way turned to the left reaching the lower Dobra Kolata first what we realised just standing up there. Going back to the pass and climbing Zla Kolata - the highest point of Montenegrin side of Prokletije and the whole country in one hour time. Great panoramas in all directions. Long descent the same way to the trailhead below Qafa Borit meadows and through the valley to the North, towards Vusanje village in some incredbile sunset scenery over the mountains viewed far in the West... |
