You can watch Part 1 here: th-cam.com/video/WrVOUahQ-Zc/w-d-xo.html This is why it reminded me of a Greek island: th-cam.com/video/2ugADHVPH2M/w-d-xo.html And here's some info that a viewer posted about the village: "For anyone wondering, the village name is Pousko. It belongs to a geographical region named Zhupa where many small villages near Prizren like this belong. People in those villages speak Bosnian and identify as Kosovo Boshnjaks. The schools there are in Bosnian and the local language is similar to Macedonian. Everyone is probably a Muslim. I'm from one of those villages. It's further south and close to the mountains. It's even more beautiful than what you saw there, you can see some of those mountains in the distance covered in snow."
I have to say this series of videos has been great. Keep to lesser known countries in Eastern Europe. Much more interesting than Western Europe in my opinion!
Wow Gabe, approximately 4 weeks ago you were in the middle of Paris & now you're in the Kosovan mountains. We're absolutely loving your adventures mate & your wonderful narrations. Please take care & God bless you 👍
Hello Gabriel, I am from that village and it's name is "Pousko", I'm glad to see someone from the other side of the world randomly visits exactly the village and the street where I live. I feel bad because none of the villagers knew to tell you more about the place where we live. Only the little girl who spoke to you is named Dila, not "Filla" who is actually my sister 😂
I'm not from Prizren but I'm close Theranda (Suhareka), what ethnic group are you guys, based on the mosque are you Bosnians or Serbs ? Very beautiful village and amazing view by the way, I didn't know it existed.
@@BekoSA0 That's really cool that you came across this video. Say hi to your sister for me and nice to talk with her. I've learned more about the town thanks to some of the comments.
Gabriel, I’ve been watching your videos for more than 10 years, and haven’t missed many. This video in Kosovo is among your best. I love it when you challenge yourself physically, and then get paid off in the end, as you did here. Very rewarding for those of us who go along with you.
Hello Gariel, I live in Chicago but that village, Pousko, is where my mom grew up and where all my family from my mom's side live. We go there every summer and it is very beautiful especially during summertime. One of the little girls in the video is my cousin, and she does speak English but is very shy. This video went so viral among all the people in the village and almost everyone from my family has watched it. We're glad you payed a visit, and you should go again in the summer when everyone spends their time outside.
I am very happy to see you are in Kosovo. I've been following your videos for a long time and that makes me feel so good to see you in my country. If you are by Pristina just ping me I can help you with whatever you need. Have a great time here, there's a lot to explore!
Thanks Gabriel for this really interesting random discovering of this town and countr (a bit unknown). Nice afternoon and see you soon. Greetings from France
My God, Gabriel what an unbelievable trail..to reach this Fortress.😍😍 Dangerous hike, in my opinion, but your energy comes from the passion for exploring and always discovering great mountainous landscapes, always heading for the peaks. Beautiful villages, where people speak german, because they have certainly worked there. This was amazing, you're in great shape, full of enthusiasm and always go for the most difficult challenges. Thank you for bringing us with you through this valleys and peaks to Prizren. Kosovo is definitly unique. Best wishes for health and happiness, as always , from Paris 🖐🤙🍀
you're not just a traveller but an intrepid hiker and a legit explorer..thanks for taking us to the great undiscovered parts of the world..just be safe on the road 🍀
Love the videos. I spent a year living/working in Kosovo back in 1999. I worked as a police officer with the peacekeeping forces and was in the Mitrovica region. Your videos remind me of the good times I had there. It's truly a beautiful country and while they have done much to erase the scars of the war, I can still see some. I still have friends there and your videos make me want to return for a visit to see how much has changed. BTW, the dogs you commonly see in the villages are known as Sar Mountain dogs. They are, as you said, herding and defense dogs.
Goranci ( mountain folk)haha guy yelled where he is going he is gonna fall? 😂 And old man tried to explain that there is path leading to church- crkva that leads to road to Prizren.
Hello Gabriel, Be careful walking too much of the beaten path. There are still minefields in Kosovo after the war in '98-99. Love the vids and take care from a Kosovo-Albanian.
Thanks for taking me (and probably quite a few other viewers) on a hike that I wouldn't be doing on my own. It is great to see the local/unbeaten path stuff!
Very interesting, I did not know there were Bosniaks there. If I had been Gabriel and realised the people were not speaking Albanian, I would have assumed they were Serbs, but been confused by the mosque. Thanks for informing me about the Bosniaks of Kosovo.
i follow your channel for a while, but never as strong as now a question "who would have found him there if he slipped" crossed my mind. Watching it turned into an action movie vibe.
Phew! Amazing video, what a discovery! But I gotta be honest, I was nervous the whole time watching you walk on the edge of those cliffs. Glad you made it! Be careful sir.
Even though I live in Prizren myself It needed an American guy to come around and show us this amazing Surroundings...just us you are amazing my friend ❤️
Hi Gabriel, Glad to see someone visit my village. The name of the village is Pousko and its about 5km away from Prizren. Currently the population is maybe about 100 people because the most are living in germany or switzerland and they visit the village just in sommer. The population in sommer gets up to about 500 people. Just the older ones stayed in their homes. The village is 100% inhabited od Kosovo-Bosniaks which are muslims. The route you took from village to city was actually used daily abot 30-40 years ago.
Hi Gabriel, are you still in Kosovo? I strongly recommend you go to a city called Peja and Rugove. Its one of the most beautiful places in Kosovo and its not far.
The Area around Prizren was the German sector from KFOR. Many People speak German in this area. I often drove throug Pousko on the way to mount Cviljen
Hi Gabriel, That was a serious hike those people from the village must think those Americans are crazy and there's no doubt you're going to sleep good tonight, and going back you got a straight line going across making it into Prizren before dark.
I like how the people of Pousko speak to you in their native language as if you'd understand them xD The dude at the end made me laugh yelling at you "NOT THERE YOU'LL FALL" xD
Wowwww what a Epic adventure sir Gabe In So high Top of the Mountains I'm so Nervous when you walk on the high path edge of the mountain A beautiful 😍. Little village Kosovo is Beautiful breath taking Scenery thank u so much sir Gabe for Your Wonderful adventure Walk around experience there in Kosovo stay safe, take care Godbless from your solid fan supporter viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin 😍😍👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙂👏👏👏👏👏
Gabriel, that younger guy who was speaking somewhat German later said in Serbian "he doesn't speak German" about you just as you were leaving. I know because I understand Serbian. Or it could be Bosnian, which is basically pretty much the same as Serbian.
Name of village is Pousko, inhabited by slavic muslims, Fortress name is Prizrenski Visegrad or Dusanovgrad Im from that area orginally but I go there only during holidays
Wow, Gabriel, you are really brave to walk on that type of path, so steep cliffs everywhere around. Even on camera it looks so steep, how steep should that be in real ... But very unexpectable great adventure and it was even interesting to check some things about that domestic dog breed Šarplaninac - the most gold and "royal" species of them is called Zlatan (Ibrahimović ? :D ) and Šarplaninac is even forbidden to have in Denmark.
Holy moly, what a cool series from Kosovo, the landscape is spectacular!! I am wondering though, how come everybody there speaks German, even the villagers but not English??? Especially given that people in the surrounding countries, Albania included, generally speak good to perfect English. What's the connection between this small, Albanian majority country and Germany??
@@alexlarsen6413 As a Kosovar citizen I can tell you that one of the main reasons is that the German battalion of KFOR (NATO-led international peacekeeping force in Kosovo) are based in Prizren since after the war in 1999. The KFOR members took part in a lot of activities in the cities where they served such as: youth integration projects, sports etc. and helped the cities a lot through donations or other contributions. A lot of people from the city and villages were employed through their projects and took part in the activities - with the main language used in the case for Prizren being German, hence the connection. However, as that person mentioned above - having family members in diaspora has quite an impact too. Our diaspora is largely focused in Germany and Switzerland, so that's part of the connection too.

This is a village and its called Pousko in which live Bosniaks,there are many more villages near and outside Prizren like this one

Another great adventure....thank you so much for taking us along!

Gabriel u r quite brave & daring getting to the village the terrain was very steep & dangerous. Take care
At 5:26 thats probably a chestnut shell. Anyways this is beautiful that you’re showing nature and not modern stuff. Keep it up bro. Beautiful country
I thought the same: chestnut
You can really see why they built that fortress on top of that mountain,stunning views 360 degrees.
Who are they? They are the Serbs, lady Mary 😀
@@vladimirzunic7074 Its a figure of speech, reading to much into it.
Quite challenging hike but the experience and the views made it very much worth it!
We appreciate you for coming to our beautiful country
Truly Epic 🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The OG. And STILL the best!
Wow Kosovo has hidden history love this! 👍 😀 ❤️

Glad you made it. Nice looking town.
Omg those deep, big mountains and alone, brave man, glad you enjoyed 😊
That's some hiking and a huge balancing act at times. Good to see the views, glad you got to where you wanted to be.
Great and amazing content as always Gabriel! Always so fun to go hiking with you on your journeys! 🏔️😀
Hi Gabriel, are you still in Kosovo? I strongly recommend you go to a city called Peja and Rugove. Its one of the most beautiful places in Kosovo and its not far.

They people in that village are of Bosnian descent, which is one of the minority groups with a reserved parliamentary space in Kosovo.
Thanks for the video brother. Whenever I hear you say " this should be a fairly straightforward hike" I know I'm in for a helluva show!🤣
Houses here look kind of what you see in Delmar NJ except with the beach.

I am wondering though, how come everybody there speaks German, even the villagers but not English??? Especially given that people in the surrounding countries, Albania included, generally speak good to perfect English. What's the connection between this small, Albanian majority country and Germany??
very many Albanians work in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, that's the reason, English can also very many, especially the younger generation.
The Austrian empire. Much of the older people in that area speak fluent German. That's what an older Hungarian woman told me.
Depends on the city, young people speak english perfectly in Prishtina!
@@EvelynRblx1234 I see...makes sense. Are those german speaking countries easier on visa requirements and work permits for the Kosovars?

I’m guessing Google Maps or the internet did not work in the village where the little girl was there?
I forget, I might have had reception but I wasn't bothering with the phone since I could see where I was trying to go.
It does 97% of people in Kosovo have intermet acces
Serbian fortres and serbian monostery saint archangels
Where did you see it ? Ah I forgot everything is Serbian good boy
