Bogove

Bogove is in Berat County, Albania.

Understand

Bogove is a tiny town located between Berat and Corovode.

Get in

Buses from Berat headed to Skrapar pass through Bogove (as well as Corovode). They leave from Berat's town center roughly every hour. The trip takes 1.5 hours and costs 200 leke.

Get around

The tiny town is easy to see on foot. There are only a few buildings along the main road and the rest of the town is residences in the hills.

See

Bogove Waterfall is a lovely set of waterfalls cascading into a deep, jade colored pool. From the bus stop, follow the dirt road up into the hills. It takes about 20 minutes of walking to get to a turn off where the road splits into two dirt roads heading up, with a third grassy road continuing forward, over the hill and into the valley. Follow the grassy road and it will eventually turn into a windy, rocky path zigzagging down into the valley. After another 15 minutes, when you reach the bottom, follow the river upstream and it will dead end at the waterfall. The water is freezing, but refreshing in the heat of summer.

Do

There is nothing in town other than the walk to the Waterfall.

Eat

A few small cafes serve basic menus.
