Osum River

The Osum River runs through central Albania past Berat and through the Osumi Canyon, and these articles cover the canyon, the town and the river itself. Upstream the water has cut deep walls into the limestone, a popular place for rafting when the river is high in spring, while downstream it divides the old quarters of Berat. Our guides include an adventure guide to Osumi Canyon with hiking and bridge viewpoints, a portrait of Berat, and a collection of facts about Albania's rivers. A roundup of the top tourist places in Albania puts the area in wider context.
