    The first stop is after about an hour of driving, in the small town of Belsh. Here you’ll have 30 minutes to stretch your legs, enjoy a coffee, and take in the charm of this non-touristic area with its peaceful small lake and quiet surroundings. It’s a much nicer break than stopping at a gas station!
