“The canyons of Osumi are the perfect destination for those who love adventure with fascinating natural landscapes around,” Kumbaro wrote.

The views that Osum’s canyons offer are stunning; there are heights, contrasts in terms of light, diverse vegetation, a real attraction for local and foreign tourists.

At a distance of 13 kilometers and surrounded by rocks of 100 meters, rafting practitioners pass many waterfalls as well as several natural works of art created by erosion, baptized with names such as the “eye”, “devil’s gate”, “crocodile” or the “cathedral”./k.s/p.s./

Balla said that the Holta Canyon is one of the best attractions to visit on a weekend break.

“Holta Canyon in Gramsh with the valley’s 100 to 150-meter steep slopes and water depth is estimated up to 3 meters. The Canyon is home to steep slopes and karst caves and pits with thermal waters, and the scenic landscape make it one of the best weekend places,” Balla said.

Holta Canyon in Gramsh remains one of the most preferred and popular destinations for both local and international visitors.

Holta is a year-round popular tourist destination. With the warmer spring and summer days, the number of visitors and adventure tourism enthusiasts to explore attractions and breath-taking landscape is constantly increasing.

One of the gems and natural beauties in the area of ​​Gramsh is the river Holta with its magnificent three-km long canyons, which starts from the village Bardhan to the village Kobash, while the slopes of the valley climb up to 100 – 150 m and water depth is estimated up to 3 m. Its fairy tale like swirls, twists and turns can leave you breathless.

On the canyons’ steep slopes there are many unexplored karst caves suitable for adventurous explorations by naturalists and climbers. Near the canyons there is Kabash cave created by limestone rocks with numerous karst phenomena, stalactites and stalagmites with rare beauty.

In addition to the river with its amazing canyons, the area’s mountain slopes are covered by lush forests with rare trees, including maple, fir, pine and many rare species of animals and birds.

Holta remains a largely unexplored tourist area because of its rugged terrain, but that doesn’t deter height adventurers.

The area of Gramsh is home to many monuments of nature and history of antiquity, natural resources such as Sotira Waterfall, which are visited regularly, especially in the summer season.
