After lunch, a walk in the city and a visit to the House of Culture, Rrëshen, where unique specimens of ethnography, folk instruments and traditional clothing will take your trip to another dimension cannot be missed on this itinerary.

Mirdita has already entered the map of agritourisms, which have brought back to customers the culinary tradition in an artisanal way, accompanied by the wines produced in the hills rich in minerals. An evening at Agrotourism N' Kanu (Perlat, 20 minutes from Rrësheni) accompanied by dishes and sunny atmosphere as well as the exploration of wine varieties can happily close the first day's itinerary.

The next day, the trip continues towards Gurra e Domgjon (the aqueduct), at the foot of the Munella mountain and only 40 km from the town of Rrëshen. Gurra, which was known as "Qyteza" is an aqueduct located in the fortified settlement-castle, to the west of Fan i Vogël. The aqueduct starts at Munella mountain where the water, after being collected from a small pit, is conveyed to an underground channel, where in the middle of it was the control well, which starts with a concealed entrance from the surface of the earth.

After returning to Rruga e Kombit, continue towards Reps, heading for the infamous Spaçi Prison. The journey takes only 20 minutes from the highway exit in Reps, through a beautiful winding road in the hills of Spaci, which mysteriously hide each other and as if they do not want to show the pain experienced over the years.

After the strong emotions, visitors need to see the other side of the territory, a unique ensemble of attractions "Eco Gurth Spaç-Munella" where the guesthouse "Gurth Spaç-Natura Magica" can be the possible accommodation (it is suggested that the trip be made with cars off road), from where you can enjoy nature but also the "Viewing Tower", the water mill, the old bell. Nature enthusiasts can hike along the "Lynx of Munella" path with wonderful views in every season.

If "Off Road" cars are not available, you can go for a short trip to the Old Town (Katundi i Vjeter), where you can relax and stay in the well-known guesthouses, hotels and campsites of this area such as: Eco-Hotel Restaurant Marubi, Bujtina Dini, Camping "Baven-Toven Naturae" etc.

One of the symbols of the entire Mirdita, the Monastery Church of Rubik, is the opening of the third day of the itinerary in this destination. Located on a prominent rocky terrain, above the Fan River, the medieval monastery strongly dominates the itineraries that connect the coast with Arbanon to the heights of Oroshi, but also what is otherwise known as L'itinerarium Lissus -Naissus. Formerly Franciscan, part of the diocese of Lezha and Rubik, dates from 1166.

Last stop is the Old Village, which can be reached in two ways:  Walking along the paths that go down the hill from Rubik's Pictograms (1.5 hours of normal walking, for hiking enthusiasts) or following the local Rubik - Katund i Vjetër road (6km). There you can enjoy the gastronomy of the well-known restaurants of the area such as Eco-Hotel Restorant Marubi, Bujtina Dini, Camping "Baven-Toven Natura", under the gurgling of water and the freshness of the trees that surround the area.
