  The Peaks of the Balkans is a hiking trail that covers three countries, Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania. This trail attracs many tourists that are in love with hiking and want to see new places, meet new people and see different cultures. Not only that they seek the beautiful sceneries but also get to know the culture of the people that live in these majestic mountains. Undoubtedly, staying in nature is a wonderful thing, however if you would have to stay for 8 days, without a doubt, that's when the magic kicks in. We were for 8 days in the most beautiful parts of the accursed mountains together with people who later not only became friends with us but also we created a bond that we would never forget. Outdoor Kosova organized a training for future guides in the peaks of the balkans, our intructors were amazing and had professional attributes, they always kept teaching us new things.

The final ascent to the peak, January 13, 2019 Luboten or otherwise called Ljuboten, a fantastic steep mountain known as the king of the Sharr mountains. It is a unique mountain and the peak is so special that you can see it from many cities of Kosovo and from Macedonia. The Sharr mountain range lies in the border between Kosovo and Macedonia and are over 100km long which they end in Radika at Vraca e Vogel 2538m.  I always wanted to do this mountain in winter even though I have summited it before but I wanted to feel the mountain when it is in it's most wild time.  It is the 13th of January, Sunday and me with Shpendi, Laureat decided to go hiking and suddenly in that cold morning we saw Genti and Engjell with his brother Blendi.

T here's the Heart Lake of Gjeravica. Every time when I want to go hiking or if someone invites me to a hiking trip I always get hyped. It happens to me always and I can't sleep from the excitement just thinking about it. So the thrilling adventure began, and our destination was a fascinating place called Gjeravica, which is located in Junik. It was highest peak in Kosovo with an altitude of 2656M high after a group of experts discovered another peak in Dragash of Prizeren which is called Rudoka or Mans Peak (Maja e Njerit) with an altitude only 2 meters higher than Gjeravica however, this peak is still not official. In 2008 after the border between Kosovo and Macedonia was set this peak belonged to Kosovo now.  100countryhighpoints We were a small group of 8 hikers and wanted to go to an adventure never seen before after a 3 hours of driving from Prishtina to Decan. In addition, we at last arrived at a place called by the locals "Zalli i Rupes" (Rupa Sand).
