Lately someone send me an email to let me know that there was a German guy who is mountainbiking from Greece to Lago di Guardia, in Italy which on his way there will also pass through Albania.
Immediately I was reminded of a friend of mine who, together with some friends, just a few months ago, took a similar trip from one end of Albania to the other.
In short, the German guy’s name is Stuntzi. he doesn’t really know where to ride through albania….
He is doing a live-report of his adventures in a mtb forum (mainly german, but lots of pictures): http://www.mtb-news.de/forum/showthread.php?t=396385
There is also an support-thread in an bosnian forum:

Maybe you have deep knowledge ‘about trails for mtbing in Albania or know the right people who can help this guy to find a way through….
Check out this link (in German) to see maps: http://www.alpenzorro.de/heraklix/
Stuntzi is looking for good and/or cheap hotels in Leskovik an Korce.
Anything you readers can recommend?
thanks!
Korca itself as a city offers relatively good deals, so if he asks in the center of the city they should be able to direct him to good places. I hope this helps.

HI,
i am planing a trip from Maldavia through Albania and than to Monte Negro. You trip seems fantastic. I was just wondering which maps did you used for planning as there are many mountain/ off-road sections rather that road which I prefer as well.
Can you please let me know, how you proposed your route?
Thanks A lot.
Michal
Dear Michal,
you may have to contact the guy directly on his website as I do not have his contact now.
