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….

Day trips from Tirana
Want a day out of the city, planned for you?
Esther, our tour partner, plans day trips to Berat, Kruja, Durrës and Dajti Mountain, with certified local guides on site. Tell her your date and group size, and she replies personally, in English or German.
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.
