Ohrid Lake in the city of Pogradec.
Day 6, June 10, (Thursday)
Stage four, is again a loop stage, Pogradec-Pogradec.
An easy and relaxing stage with a short special section.
Day 7, June 11, (Friday)
Stage five, Pogradec-Tirana, will be the hardest stage of all the rally. High altitudes, mud lanes,
deep forests, rocky paths and tricky navigation in some of the most remote areas of Albania.
Day 8, June 12, (Saturday)
Stage six, the final stage, Tirana-Tirana. This is the last and deciding stage. Short but everything
can happen in the hills and muds around Tirana. Old villages, river beds, mud and dust, will be
the landscape of the final kilometres.

rocks, mud, river beds, mountains and slow gravel or white fast gravel that also demand a keen
sense of navigation.
