More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the village of Çerenisht into a corridor of limestone walls, the Osum River narrowing into channels that dare you forward. Cold, glassy water threads between sheer cliffs; guides check helmets, hand out neoprene suits if needed, and point to the first slow eddy where you’ll float and listen to the canyon breathe.

History
The Osum River has cut the canyon across limestone over millennia; nearby Berat County villages reflect Ottoman and pastoral heritage shaped by the river’s corridors.
