  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.

The mountain pass of Brekije - Mustafe Village, Albania

-

 

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 Gjallica and Koretnik, and in the end you will see a wonderful canyon that shows you the beautiful lake of Fierza.


In the end after we finnished the hike, we went to Kukes and ate a traditional albanian dinner with plenty of healthy foods and happy faces. This event was organised by: Kosovo Mountain Club.

  "Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures."   A beautiful  qoute by Lovelle Drachman. In an early Sunday morning Rinor, Lis and I woke up at Jezerca Guest House from a wonderful sleep. We were preparing our stuff and went to eat breakfast straight ahead. We thank Keli Selimaj and his staff for their wonderful and warm hospitality. With the 28th June of 2020 we were waiting for the amazing hiking organisation Kosovo Mountain Club, and the wonderful guides Arineta Mula, Adriatik Gacaferi and Adnan Beqiraj and at the same time our friends. These guys came up with a wonderful idea during the pandemic crisis and ended up founding this wonderful hiking group, that every nature lover can join and enjoy the wonderful views of our beautiful mountains of Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo and North Macedonia.  Kosovo Mountain Club's event was Stani i Rames (Rama's Cabin) and Maja e Rosit (Rosi Peak). Rosi peak stands with an altitude of 2525 meters above the sea level
