A fabulous hike through the remote borderlands of Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro.
Each country had its own distinctive landscape: rugged limestone peaks in Albania, pine forests in Kosovo, and alpine meadows in Montenegro that were pink and red with the autumn foliage of wild blueberry bushes.

A fabulous hike through the remote borderlands of Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro.
Each country had its own distinctive landscape: rugged limestone peaks in Albania, pine forests in Kosovo, and alpine meadows in Montenegro that were pink and red with the autumn foliage of wild blueberry bushes.
The genuine hospitality we received at the huts and guesthouses was a real highlight of the trip. The home cooked local food we had at each evening was plentiful and delicious.
The itinerary is very well thought out and the route is easy to follow and well marked. The trip would be better named ‘Highlights of the Peaks of the Balkans’ as several sections of the classic Peaks of the Balkans trail are replaced by road transfers to avoid large sections of road walking. This allows for an extra day in the Prokletije National Park where we did a fabulous 3 peak ridge hike.
The trip was seamlessly organized and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Zbulo again!

I would absolutely recommend this trip! The experience was magnificent from beginning to end and exceeded all of my expectations.
The route is breathtaking, and the whole experience of doing the trek was truly special. Everything was incredibly well organized, from the itinerary and self-guided materials to the transfers, accommodations, meals and support along the way.
Even though it is a self-guided trek, I always felt supported and safe. Every reception we had was warm and welcoming, and all the people involved were extremely kind and helpful.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the food. At first, some of the meals looked a little unusual to me, but once I tried them, I absolutely loved them!
I honestly loved every single part of this experience. If you are considering doing this trip, go for it — you will have an unforgettable experience!
