  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.

Marjash 2533m                                                                                 In these moments that the pandemic created for us, we couldn't visit the mountains for about two months but it felt like years without seeing them. Being able to go and feel the fresh air up there and see the snow slowly melt away from the peaks, that was wonderful.  Being able to escape from the city and go to the wilderness and see rabbits, owls and even bear traces was very amazing. Two days ago a friend of mine called me and asked me if I would join him to go to the mountains, my immidiate response was "Yess", I was waiting so long to go back where I belonged, in the mountains. Rinor invited me to join his adventure with two other friends from Skenderaj. In such a manner, Jeton and Berat came to pick us up in an early and slowly crowdy Prishtina during the early hours of the morning. After they picked us up and we headed towards the main road, and went to buy some snacks and
