  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.

Many mountaineers from across the world climb this amazing mountain every year and in different seasons.  The name of the peak translates into "Lake peak" because of the beautiful glacier lakes that Jezerca posseses, I have written about those wonderful lakes in an article last year.
