Peshtan – Kala – Limar

The five-day trek begins at the edge of the Zagoria River Valley, a pristine tributary within Europe’s first Wild River National Park. Shielded by four mountain ranges, the valley forms a secluded landscape entered along an ancient caravan route lined with Ottoman bridges and Orthodox churches.

Climb through open woodland to a pass where the valley unfolds below, then descend through terraced fields to the tiny hamlet of Kala, home to only three residents. An Ottoman stone bridge beside the stream provides a possible swimming stop.

Follow the cobbled caravan route towards Limar, with views of Mount Strakavec (1,958 m) and the village’s distinctive stone houses. Your guide provides context on the valley’s history before the group spends the night in a local home, where dinner is prepared with regional produce.
