Concise narrative description of the trail

This trail takes you away from the asphalt and to the remote and hidden village of “Kosharisht”, located spectacular between the rocky cliffs and the wild mountain river. It has only few houses, but is clearly worth the visit also for its century old cave-church clinging high above in a rock. Its possible to visit it over a step trail, just talk to a local. When returning from Kosharisht you will have to push the bike about 20 minutes upwards, as its rather rocky and steep, but that’s again worth it, and down to your starting point it’s a great final downhill ride.

Highlights

Villages of Kosharisht and Letem (half the way), rock-church of Kosharisht
