Pirogoshi is the largest and most interesting cave in the district of Skrapar, being a very interesting Tour in Albania. Join us and don't miss this opportunity to go hiking in the Pirogoshi Cave and tunnels, and to see the fantastic Kasabashi Bridge!
Overview
Pirogoshi is the largest and most interesting cave in the district of Skrapar.
Its entrance is very impressive and is located near the Gradec canyon surrounded by limestone cliffs. It has a width of about 30 m, height 5 m and length 1252 m. The road inside it continues with extensions, narrowing, large halls and narrow galleries. A real underground maze!
In its ceilings there are many calcite rocks such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, stone waterfalls, red cave pearls, etc. It has been visited by many foreign French and Dutch speleological groups but also by locals. Its full exploration was carried out in 1995 by the Italian speleologists of the groups "Puglia Grotte and Dauno".
No one ever finished the whole trail of cave. It is believed that in this cave the Greatest King Pirro of Epir used to hide treasure that he took from the wars.

What to Expect
Starting from the town hall square in Corovode (we can pick you up at any hotel in Berat or any other city), take the dirt road that goes up the Skrapar river that crosses the town. After 1 km you will arrive at the Ottoman-era Kasabash bridge and from this you begin to admire the canyon and the river valley. To its left are the entrances to an underground warehouse from the Communist period, still used by local people as a food warehouse. Continuing and skirting the river after 1 km you pass a reconstructed path equipped with safety elements, which in fifteen minutes leads and ends straight to the cave and into the Gradeci canyon. The cave is very interesting, its complete visit would take a couple of hours to penetrate its insidious bowels. We will wear helmets and hand lights and explore the cave as much as you can and want. At the end of the visit to the cave on the way back to Corovode on the same road, after 2 km on the left of the road, we will visit the Pirogoshi tunnels, military shelters composed of a network of tunnels hidden in the canyon on both sides of the river. We will visit the galleries, and then we will return again to the Kasabashi bridge, from where we will return to Skrapar City. We will enjoy a lunch with local products in a local restaurant.
