The metal stairs at the top
The final push to the summit features a set of metal stairs bolted straight into the rock face. There is a nominal fee of 100 LEK (about €1) to access the upper viewing platform. If you have a severe fear of heights, the restaurant level offers a comparable panorama without the vertigo.
The reward
At the summit, you are greeted with sweeping, uninterrupted views of the entire reservoir and the sprawling green valleys below. On a clear day, the line of sight extends to the eastern flank of Dajti and, faintly, the foothills approaching Krujë.
