"Bushat Castle, known by locals toponym fortress of Gjenovizit located 12 km east of the town of Kukes.
The hill on which rises the castle has a very important strategic position, from which he could control the path that ran from the neck MORINI to neck Kolesianit further in Debar.
It is located on a hill dominating height of 305 m above sea level.

For this is about the existence of a branch of the road Transballkanike Lisus Naissus, whose traces we find today, which is later called toponym Rugga e Pasha" L. Perzhita, Keshtjella e Bushatit, Iliria 16,2, 1986, 187. Really not sure if this is that close to Bushat.
