Course description of Eagle Ultra 50K

Eagle Ultra 52KM

The trail run starts in the ancient city of Prizren, which has a rich history dating back to 1100 BC. As you begin your run in the old part of Prizren, you will visit some of the most historical monuments protected by UNESCO, such as the Hamam of Gazi Mehmet Pasha, the Old Stone Bridge, Mosques, Churches, and the Fortress, all of which boast impressive Ottoman, Orthodox, and Christian architecture.

As you leave the trail that belongs to the area of Prizren, you will find yourself in the awe-inspiring Lumbardh Gorge. This natural reserve is home to numerous water springs that flow into the Lumbardh of Prizren, forming picturesque waterfalls, small and large lakes, and boasting special biological, geographical, hydrologic, and landscape values.

Continuing on the trail, you will come across mixed forests and rocky terrain in the vicinity of the villages Pusko and Jabllanica, and continue to the Mountain hut Sharr.

The trail then leads to Karanikolla Lake, where you can admire the breathtaking views, and then the trail continues to Scarpa peak (2,474 m), where you can spot the majestic golden eagle, and experience the last high-altitude point of the race.

As the trail gradually descends, you will reach Zaplluzha village, and a few kilometers on the roads before entering a beautiful pine forest with several picnic areas. Finally, you will make an entrance into Prizren, where you can enjoy the final meters of the race accompanied by the sounds of traditional music, the aroma of local cuisine, and the unique vibe of this culturally rich town.

The locals will welcome you with warm smiles, and you can experience the true magic of Prizren. The trail run promises to be an unforgettable adventure, combining history, nature, and culture in one incredible experience.
