Information:
The quite ambitious “Peaks of the Balkans” trail comprises 192 km and
completes a circuit crossing the three countries. It leads through high
alpine landscape up to 2300 metres above sea level in the border region
in Dobërdol (Albania) and Milishevc (Kosovo).
The hike can be started in each country: Theth (Albania); Plav
(Montenegro); or, in the small town of Pejë (Kosovo). The 10 stages of
the trail can be hiked in 10 to 13 days, depending on the motivation and
condition of the hiker. The level of difficulty ranges from easy to
moderate, but requires good physical condition and mountain equipment
(e.g. hiking boots, waterproof clothing, lamps, GPS, first aid kit,
mobile phone). Even though the whole trail is marked and signposted, it
partly leads through uninhabited mountain regions. Hence, it is
recommended to hike in a group or accompanied by a hiking guide.
Fast facts about the trail
Elevation min: 670 meters (near Cerem, Albania) max: 2,290 meters
(near the border, the trail: Dobёrdol, Albania – Milishevc, Kosovo)
Cumulative height uphill: approx. 9,800 meters downhill: 9,900 meters
The level of difficulty along the Peaks of the Balkans Trail ranges from easy to moderate.
Levels of difficulty (on a scale from easy to difficult)
Easy: gentle ascents only, comfortable paths and an easy orientation even without a map.
Moderate: follows a marked path, possibly with steep
inclines and some risk of falling. Basic orientation skills and
sure-footedness required.
Difficult: usually no recognizable path. Terrain
requires a well-developed ability to assess terrain accurately and
excellent orientation skills. Several highly exposed sections, difficult
slopes. Experience and familiarity with alpine equipment required.
GPS data
The GPS (UTM) data provided in the different sections is three-fold:
waypoint number, UTM coordinates, and altitude. Within the text, the
waypoint numbers (e.g. WP 1) refer to the items listed at the end of
each description.
