The Albanian road starts in the town of Sheki and ends in the town of Qakh. It crosses two districts: Sheki first, as far as the church in Kish, then Qakh, through Ilisu and into the town.
The line on the map only joins these stops. It is not a surveyed trail and not a generated path. Between the stops you walk the local roads yourself.
You can start at any section. Lodging, meals, kit, a horse, or a vehicle are requested only for the section you choose.
Stages
The route has a clear start and finish. You walk it, and you can begin at any section. Lodging and meals along the way are listed. The company does not walk the route for you: it can supply equipment, meals, lodging, a horse, or a vehicle on the section you choose.
