  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. Our training instructurs were Fatos Katallozi and Mentor Bojku they both did an amazing job and en

Sunday was a very beautiful day to go hiking since spring began with 21st of March. The weather was perfect, it was sunny and the birds were tweeting. Rugova Mountains are one of the best destinations of Kosova and people love this place each time they visit it. I am going to tell you about our adventure that we had at Hajla peak.   We aimed for Peja from 7 am  especially we stopped at ETC at 9:30 am which is a big super marked, so we stopped there in order to buy some food. We continued moving towards Pepaj a village hidden in the beautiful forest of Rugova mountains. The village is not so far away from Peja and can be visited by a car or a truck easily. At 10 am we arrived at the last stop in order to go to Pepaj but the bus couldn't continue further due to a small bridge so we had to get out and pack our backpacks and start moving. After we hiked for about 1 hour and 15 minutes we made the first pause, that time was very warm and there was no wind, we were gazing with the

Buljec Peak. It was the 10th of March, a fine Sunday morning, you open the window and what do you see is the great Sharr mountains, they were looking remarkable as ever. I was preparing for yesterday's hike. We were going to Pisha e Madhe or Kopana Voda in Prizeren. After we started from Prishtina we made our first stop at Jora Center which is in Komoran, we bought food and something to drink. The weather was sunny and clear, I was with Ismet, he lives a very healthy life, he was eating pumpkin seeds and offered me some too, they were delicious. Continuing our journey of joy, the road was dividing from the distance two huge mountains, Pashtrik and Koritnik. They are so astonishing and mystic mountains. Later on, we went to pick the hikers from Prizeren up. In order to go to Pisha e madhe, we headed for the village of Lubizhde, and from there up we went a long snaky way to a small village called Skorobisht, this village

Kunora Summit. A great saying of Reinhold Messner always triggers my heart for more adventures. "The wonderful things in life are the things you do, not the things you have". It was a calm Sunday morning, the sun was hiding somewhere in the clouds. We chose to go hiking with Hiking Njeri, people started to come at the meeting point which was Bukatore in the Sunny Hill. The third of March was going to be a fantastic day. We started from Bukatore with a  double-decker bus, and we were heading to Gjakova. During that time we had so much fun in there, and later we stopped in a supermarket called Nora Market in Klina in order to buy food and water for our hiking trip. The mountain peak was located in the mountain range of Pashtrik, a very beautiful mountain.  Kunora Summit. To get there we had to go to Gjakova and then to a village called Gerqine. After a long way at last we arrived in Gerqine, after we prepared everything we started to hike from 10 AM in the m
