    (Translated by Google) Holte Canyon is a picturesque place where nature has united the canyons with the surrounding forested hilly area. With the construction of the road the area has become more accessible by car to the destination. You can have a good time with family or friends by changing something from your daily routine. (Original) Kanioni I Holtes eshte nje vend piktoresk ku natyra ka bashkuar kanionet me zonen kodrinore te pyllezuar perreth. Me ndertimin e rruges zona eshte bere me e aksesueshme me makine deri ne destinacion. Mund te kalohet bukur nje kohe me familjen apo shoqeri duke ndryshuar dicka nga rutina e perditshme.

    Holta Canyon was created by the erosion of the river Holta. It extends 3 kilometers with surrounding valley slopes of 100-150 meters and with crystalline waters of depths of around 3 meters. Karst caves created by limestone rocks, stalactites and stalagmites of rare beauty can be found there. Silence and echoes, lush greenery hanging from the slopes above you and beautiful blue waters caressing your feet and creating small waterfalls along the way. The canyon is made also special by the numerous thermal springs, blue and crystalline. The penetration of sunlight into canyon from a hight of 150 m, causes light to collide, refract and scatter in rocks and water, creating inside the canyon a spectacle of colours and a magical atmosphere. The best time to visit is from spring to the beginning of fall, as during periods of heavy rain the river rises, making it quite difficult to walk until the end of the canyon.

    Gorgeous canyon! Very nice views, great place to visit even with kids (only have to carry them through the entrance). You can't visit it without wetting your pants (literally) :) Water shoes are strongly recommmended, but we did it with sandals :D The entrance is the deepest place of that river, during our visit (october) water level was almost to waist. Water ain't freezing, probably because of warm sulphury springs and pools. One of them is right passing the entrance, on the left side. Whole trip can be done in half an hour, but we spent 1.5 hours to fully enjoy it. P.S. We were in october, and restaurant was closed, so bring your own food supplies :)

    Holta Canyon is one of the least explored, yet one of the most beautiful sites in Gramsh. Its fairy tale like swirls, twists and turns can leave you breathless! Dedicate at least 2-3 hours, make sure to have good equipment, including safety helmet in case of rainy days and stones falling from the sides.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place. It is worth preparing for clothes and shoes with water. If you do this, do not miss it! (Original) Csodálatos hely. Vizet bíró ruhával és cipővel érdemes készülni. Ha erre jársz, ne hagyd ki!

    That was an amazing trip! And it's definitely safe to go there also without any guides. Don't mind to arrive there hungry because the restaurant there near the entrance to the canyon is worth to visit too 😁. So delicious traditional things they serve and the prices are so nice!!! Getting deeper into canyon be ready to feel a bit cold and also all the way you are going to walk on the water, the freezing one and so clean 👌, so make sure you have proper shoes, don't go there just with slippers.

    (Translated by Google) Magnificent place, still not known by tourists, easily accessible by following the directions of Google Maps, you have to take a small stretch of dirt road but accessible by all the cars then you can park next to the entrance of the canyon (Original) Luogo magnifico, ancora non conosciuto dai turisti, facilmente raggiungibile seguendo le indicazioni di Google Maps, bisogna percorrere un piccolo tratto di sterrato ma agibile da tutte le auto poi si può parcheggiare in prossima dell'ingresso del canyon

    The experience at Holta Canyon was pretty good. The service at the restaurant was good too,clean place and friendly staff and economic prices. I reccomend to visit. Be prepared with the right outfits and water may be a little bit cold,so think about it. Hope you enjoy it too.

    Albanian wonders ✨️ easy access for cars, free entry, wonderful spots. Just grab your water shoes, a waterproof phone case, some foods/drinks and begin exploring the wild nature. At the entry you will face some termal water where you can dive in and enjoy the warm waters. The Holta stream water is freezing cold but there is not deep at all. We didn't managed to go through the end because we faced a really tight canyon with deep and cold water, i was really excited to go through the end but it will be for another day. Highly recommend this place for all. Not kids friendly area couse of the sharp rocks. Also beware of the falling rocks from the cliff, we witnessed several rocks fall from above. Better to avoid this place during windy days. Best time to explore is in the morning hours 😌 🙃

    One of the best places I visited in the whole of Albania. The canyon can go on for almost 2km, however it will only be accessible during summer. It really is stunning, bring swimmers & something to walk on rocks. It is accessible by car, you can drive right up to the entrance

    Please, wear swimsuits and good hiking shoes or adapted for water and slippery stones where you’re gonna walk and also be careful of the small stones which might fall from upper and let yourself free to enjoy the beauty…!!! 😃 totally recommended!!!!!

    Holtes Canyon is a fun walk. Make sure to have shoes that are good for walking in water. The water is very cold, and in some places it is waist deep on an adult. A great place to escape the heat of summer.

    Nice place to visit. Couldn't find a path to move forward the canyon. You need to enter into water in order to go ahead. Beautiful nature and good people nearby to drink or eat something. Satisfied.
