  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.

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

Some beautiful pictures of the Accursed Mountains.

Hello adventure lovers out there! Today I will share with you some beautiful pictures that I took during our wild and free days that we had before the outbreak of COVID-19.

As we live our lives sometimes we don't consider and value the state of being free and to be able to do the things you aspire for. We should use those free days or weeks to the max in our lives, live those moments and love our life and love eachother as well and lift one another up to new heights.

With this article I will post some pictures during my adventures in the different parts of the mountains of Kosova, Albania, Montenegro and North Macedonia. During these times, we find out that even if you are alone or inside a house or a room, you still can get out the best from you, some people read to kill time or even workout, some tend to cook or reach their family, in other words no matter what you do just be happy and have joy about the things that you do.

Lepusha is surrounded by many stunning mountains that are over 2000 meters high, the village itself has an altitude of 1300m. With the 29th and 30th Kosovo Mountain Club organized a wonderful adventure in Lepusha and the peak called Vajusha which has the most spectacular views in the accursed mountains.  During our way we saw some amazing places like this one that resembles the winding roads of Norway.

  Last weekend, we had a wonderful adventure to the villages of Brekije, Tershene and Mustafaj. We had an amazing weather and some amazing views. Brekije is a village located deep in the mountains of the national park Korab - Koretnik in Kukes, Albania. This village has some amazing views and you can reach this village with 4x4 vehicles or with Furgona as the locals describe them. From the village to the pass the hike is around 500m elevation gain and is very suitable even for the biginners, and the descend to other two villages is around 1250m, the trail leads you to some hidden villages that lie in the foot of the mountain of Gjallica. Albania has so many mountains worth visiting, furthermore the passes that Albania posseses are one of the most beautiful passes of this region. I would encourage everyone to visit the pass of Brekije to Mustafe village because it has some of the most amazing views, it is surrounded by beautiful mountains like the Sharr Mountains, you can see Gjalli...
