Itinerary description
Mali i Polisit, for all its bulk, is a rather inconspicious mountain. For once, many people will not even notice that it is there, as it consists mainly of a high, seemingly flat plateau. Those driving from Elbasan to Librazhd through the Shkumbin valley only see its lowest slopes. Mali i Polisit doesn't have a "stand-out summit", though its highest point is unmistaken once you made it to the plateau.
All this is to say that Mali i Polisit is unlikely to top the mountaineer's priority list. But a hike up to its summit, especially in spring, will exceed all your expectations. Route finding is difficult through the forests and the karstic dolines, and - like on Munelle mountain - there is a lot of up and down before you will reach its highest point, just below the 2000 Meter mark.

Excellent hike - very beautiful in the spring with plentiful and varied wild flowers filling the grassy slopes with the added attraction of the last remnants of winter snow contrasting dramatically with the fresh green leaves of the beach trees.

A very rewarding and enjoyable hike, especially in springtime - great views at the top, but in particular the beautiful scenery on the way up impressed me. The beech trees, and abundance of wild flowers and herbs were an absolute delight, their scent filling the air - wild thyme, lemon balm, meadows of hellebores!, crocuses and scores of others. Brilliant hike!
