Trekking from Kosovo to Albania

This day is reserved for a lovely city tour. Prishtina is known for good social and nightlife and for creating an atmosphere a visitor isn’t likely to forget. With Kosovo’s population being predominantly young, youth has become the city’s biggest attraction.

During this city tour, we will be visiting several of the beautiful mosques the city has to offer, as well as the grand Mother Teresa Cathedral. We will pay homage to the Newborn monument, which was created in honor of our independence as a new country in 2008. Also, we will stroll down the pedestrian-only promenade, where we can shop, stop for a coffee, and view the Skenderbeg monument. We will walk through the green market, which is always hustling and bustling with locals shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as household items. After the city tour, we will finish the day with a traditional dinner at Restaurant Tiffany.

This day is reserved for the most beautiful hike in Kosovo.

The Gjeravica trail offers one of the best hikes in the Kosovan highlands; at the same time, it is the highest mountain peak of Kosovo with an altitude of (2656m). The way to the peak is blessed with many glacial lakes of big and small scales.

Gjeravica serves the divine purpose of offering you the chance to swim and feel as if you were flying, mainly because of its clean, high altitude (2,330)m formation of a lake, which mirrors the picturesque 360° panorama that surrounds this lake which originates from the Erenik River. At the top of Gjeravica, you can catch sight of Albania, Montenegro, and Kosovo in one magnificent gaze. Gjeravica peak stands out like a queen standing proud at its high throne. It has breath-taking views and not so hard to climb even for beginners; it is between rocks and dominated by the color green all the way.

Of course, the highlight of this trip is our trekking from Kosovo to Albania.

On this day we are hiking in the most beautiful part of Northern Albania.

Doberdol to Qerrem, from the wide landscape we are entering on steep and rocky terrain. Our hike will take around 6-8 hours. Our accommodation for the night will be in a guesthouse in Qerrem. The place where we will stay is owned by a very nice family. They cook traditional food, and we will spend a lovely evening talking together around the table, eating home-cooked food, and drinking rakia.

After eating breakfast in Qerrem, we start hiking to Valbona Valley National Park. It’s about a 4-6 hours walk. The altitude in Valbona Valley is 850 meters.

River and its surrounding areas with mountainous terrain, alpine landscapes, glacial springs, various rock formations, waterfalls, and the Valbona Valley with its dense coniferous and deciduous forest. It is characterized by its very remote areas which have a largely preserved ecosystem all of which is primarily untouched with pristine quality. This vast pristine ecosystem is the centrepiece of what has been referred to as the Albanian Miracle of the Alps.

The stunning scenery is what earns this trail a spot in the top hiking trails in the Northern Albania.
