This mountain hike begins with a gentle incline, leading hikers toward the stunning Liqeni i Kuqishtës (1,850 m) and Liqeni i Drelajve (1,800 m), located in the southeastern part of the village of Kuqishtë. The trail passes through Lugu i Shkodrës and continues upwards toward Qafa e Jelenkës (2,270 m), crossing the slopes of Bjeshka e Milishevcit and offering breathtaking views throughout the journey.

Along the way, hikers can enjoy wild berries and natural springs, making for a refreshing experience as they progress. The journey culminates at the welcoming Lojza Guesthouse (1,674 m) in Zllonopojë, where traditional accommodation and delicious regional cuisine await. Alternatives for accommodation include Guesthouse Roshkodoli, Kulla Guesthouse, and Chalet Rusta.

This stage is ideal for a day hike or as a starting point for the Via Dinarica Kosovo trail, offering a rich variety of landscapes—from tranquil forests to more challenging terrains, including ascents toward Milishevc and Zllonopojë. Hikers are advised to exercise caution at Qafa e Jelenkës, where a sign marks the path to Lojza, a 4.5 km detour not included in the Via Dinarica Kosovo route. Afterward, hikers should look for a right turn, where trail markers may be unclear. As they approach the village, the path becomes more defined, ensuring an exciting and fulfilling journey.
