Mëmëlisht Cave
Fshati: Mëmëlisht, Njësia Administrative: Udënisht, Bashkia Pogradec
The cave lies near Guri i Kuq, a few metres above the level of the lake but very close to the shore. It is a karst cave 400 m long, 10 m wide and about 25 m high, with breathtakingly beautiful rock formations. Inside there is a small lake formed by the waters that spring from the cave. Describing this little lake inside the cave, the great poet Lasgush Poradeci wrote that “the little lake stands facing the great lake”.
