A morning drive breaks the dark and pours out into a corridor of steep green—valleys folding into the Korabi range as the van threads toward Peshkopia. Light hits limestone faces and the river below, which will be the day’s first mover: cold, clear water that dares you forward on a short raft run framed by gorges and stands of beech.
