- The transnational ”Peaks of the Balkans” leads through the remote and wild mountainous region of Western Balkans. By using shepherd paths and footways, the trail winds through high alpine mountains up to 2300 meters above sea level and leads through mountains scenery, with a diversity of breathtaking landscapes.
The 192-kilometre signposted Trail winds through the remote and unspoilt mountainous regions of Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro in the Southern end of the Dinaric Alps in South East Europe.
The Peaks of the Balkans Trail was born with a passion to preserve the cultural, natural and spiritual heritage of these communities, linking them together to create a rare journey for both local inhabitants and for visitors.
Come join us on our journey through the Balkans

Evening guys and happy Xmas, Lynchy here, glad you’re enjoying Darren Curtis vlog please like and subscribe. For any of you planning on doing this trip please do it. The views are amazing and it’s some experience, as you can see from my finally tuned athletes body you should all walk this. I went into this overweight and never done a trek in my life (you can probably tell). Anyway I hope you all enjoy the rest of the videos to come :)
Yes wonderful don’t know how I missed the first three videos, what an interesting place
👍👍👍
Your presentation is great, the western balkins look gorgeous. Variations of open and green tunnels. 💚💚Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Cheers from the PNWUSA!
Brilliant stuff.
Brilliant , good to see new trails , looked treacherous at times though .
Amazing trail I would love to do it in the next summer , great video with spectacular views ....
Thank you 🤗
Absolutely stunning presentation my friend, this was so enjoyable and serene! Your cinematography is outstanding as well as narration!
Thanks buddy
I'm sooooo glad this is recommended to me! I've booked Tirana for 23th May to do this specific trail - and all 192km of it! I also will not be camping and although assured there were guesthouses at each stop, I've yet to see a video on here without camping so I'm dead excited to see the rest of your journey!
Hey we're here now starting from thethi 23rd
Well this is a nice Christmas surprise.. hope you a wonderful Xmas. 👍👌
You too buddy 🙏👍
Very informative video! We're looking for a hike in Eastern Europe and I think this is it! The details in your videos will help me plan. Thank you.
it's a great hike! Thanks
Another great vid Daz. We’ve done a couple of your hikes, but you’ve not sold us on this one yet!
Nice to hear 👌👌👌
Another great series mate. Got to ask how you chose this one to do? I hadn't heard if this route so it's class to see you doing it.
What's the process when choosing your next hikes?
Hiya, I just saw it at the back of a guidebook I was using. Just fancied visiting somewhere different!
Deciding on trips is always a tricky one, not enough holiday to fit them all in 😜
Great stuff Darren 👍well done lynchy keep going lad 👍
Thanks Richard, hope you enjoy Darren’s up coming vlogs from this trip :)
Thanks for putting this up. Great to see something a bit different! What time of year is this? Looking forward to watching the full trip.
1st week of September
👍
Hey! thank you for your great video. I plan to do the trek as well in july but I'm not sure if I'm "fit" for it. I haven't done a Trek that takes several days yet, this will be my first time. My friend an I have basic knowledge and few experciences in hiking long distances. Would you reccomend the trail for us? how good can you orient yourself in it? Maybe you can help me.
Greetings from Germany :)
The trail is very well sign posted, the locals are very friendly. You will have a great time. Do it!
That is some beautiful and rugged country. Looks like it would be easy to blow out a knee!
Thanks for posting this informative video. I'm flying out to Podgorica in Sept to walk this trail. Quick question if I may? I know you can get food when one uses accommodation but can you buy meals as you're passing through? I love wild camping and enjoying the solitude but know I can't carry 10 days' food.
Hey, I've watched your vids!
Good question, I don't see why not. They are such lovely people.
I would say you can definitely do it with a mixture of getting food/meals from shops, restaurants +guesthouses.
Plenty of great Wildcamping opportunities along the trail, enjoy!
@@darrencurtisuk thanks for the information Darren. I wasn't sure if there were restaurants for example. The info seemed to be that if you stay at a guesthouse you can get food but little info with regards to passing through. I'm starting in Plav which in hindsight might have been a mistake as this appears to be the only place on route that you can Resupply but my flight prices dictated my itinerary.
@@morgs4mountains Yes there are a few restaurants, obvs in the bigger settlements.
Teth has a decent sized shop tbh. There's no reason why the guesthouses wouldn't let you eat evening meal then crack on. Or even prepare you a take away. The income from tourism is imassive to them.
@@darrencurtisuk this is REALLY helpful. The info about the shop in Teth is excellent. I did think that hikers coming through could boost the economy by eating but I just couldn't find the info. Thanks for replying and for putting together such great a great video series on this trail.
Hi, what time of year did you do this 🤔
1st week of September
congratulations, how did you get the international visa and permits
Isaac took care of that. I think it was thru an agency.
We never got asked to show them, so maybe a waste of money?
kosovo is serbia!
Kosova montenegro and nis is albanian lands
