The name of the mountain with holes is related with the numerous and strange looking holes that are formed by karst process or the dissolved limestone rocks in water. The karst holes have the funnel shape, with a diameter that varies from several meters to dozen meters. This natural monument can be visited following the road Tirana – Dajt – Bize around 2 hours.
