  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.

One of the famous sayings of John Muir which makes my heart beat faster every time I read it is " No synonym for God is so perfect as beauty.

Brod is part of the Sharr Mountains range and has remarkable views. Brod is part of the municipality of Dragash and is positioned in the most southern part of Kosova.  In such a manner, we headed with 16th of June of 2019 to Brod to hike up through the peak of Zllipotok and eventually to visit the stunning lake of Shutman. Many hikers packed their backpacks and prepared for a
