  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

According to Bear Grylls "A Survival Guide for Life" book, page 21. He states that "When you stand at the bottom of a mountain, you can rarely see a clear route to the top. It is too far away and the path too twisty and hidden behind obstacles". But when you finally arrive, you will see that the struggle was worthy. There is a beautiful place hidden somewhere in a high mountain in Rugova Mountains which is called Shtupeq i Vogel, to get there you have to hike through different trees and pines that covers a good distance of 8 km. However, when you get there you will be astonished by the views of that mountain that provides you. After you arrive at the fascinating mountain huts of Shtupeq you will see a long road formed like a snake with many curves that pierces through the forest. Up there in the mountain huts was a water source that we could fill our bottles. From there we could not see the mountain peak but we kept going. The summit is called Vjellak a

It was Tuesday the second of April and I was somewhere in Fushe Kosova. Suddenly a notification came on my Facebook account which was saying "Do you want to do an adventure just only the two of us", I said "yes" even without knowing where we are going. That person was Rinor, he has a pure adventure soul. Thus, we met at a coffee in Prishtina and he told me about the plan and the destination and when the adventure would start. We were excited and in the same time intimidated. In the early morning of April the 3rd we woke up early around 6 am and met at Rinor's house during around 7 am and aimed for the bus station with a taxi. A friend of ours Adnan, gave us some Ice Axes just to have them for safety. We decided to travel with a bus to Peja, which was at 7:30 am with Pranvera Tours. We kicked of, to an unforgettable adventure where we didn't know what was going to happen and we thought "Let's see what is waiting for us". When we arrived

It was the 30th of March, an amazing Saturday. As usually we wanted to hike however we even wanted to visit the beautiful city of Rahovec. This kind of event wasn't held since the year of 2017 that Hiking Njeri held it, this time we wanted to make it even greater. We started from Prishtina, it was just before 9 am and we were staying at our meet point and waited till every one was gathered in order to head to Rahovec. We gathered and started our adventure, with a bunch of people and during the way we stopped to buy some food and drinks. Later on, we arrived at the heart of Rahovec and there were waiting at least 50 people from the city in order to join our event. So we squeezed them all in our two buses that during that time were already full, but it was so much fun. First of all, our main focus was to start the hike and reach the summit of Zatriq, we had a local guide from Rahovec, which he showed us the way. We plunged out from the buses and made a great group picture and
