“I hope you speak the stones here”: an epic height across the attached Kosovo Mountains Kosovo holidays
R.Here are the stone warehouses shrouded by fog on the hill on my right, just shy of the Ridgeline line, which represents the limits of dairy-Kosovo. To my left, the view is not only clear, but amazingly beautiful.
I am able to see him to the small mountain village of Jacavre, where I was sleeping the night before, to see across the deep green spaces of Deçan Gorge until after, on thick pine forests and herbal lands that emerge with pink and yellow flowers, and look at the 2461 -meter summit of the western peaks of Mountains.
We are in the ninth stage of Via Dinarica Kosovo, a long -distance walking path 75 miles and 13 stages across this floor country. Types even the path Through dinarsThe Balkan path that extends from Slovenia to Albania. The Kosovo section was opened in 2015, but it was recently re -launch and re -launched as part of a three -year project of 1.2 million pounds, funded by the Italian Agency Axs.
There were Yugoslav barracks in Jacavre during the Kosovo War – the brutal struggle between the Kosovo Liberation Army (locally known as Uçk) and Slobodan Milošević Yugoslavia, which ended in the amazing jump gum here. Kosovo for use by editing fighters.
The barracks have long been given. Today, a handful of local population at GACAFeri Fly Fly Red Albanian Clams outside their homes alongside Kosovo Blue. They tend to their sheep and welcoming them warmly, who trade in travel stories while eating Burik and Rugova cheese in the scenic guest house.
“I hope the stones will speak here,” says Ota Ibrahimi, the mountain guide. Uta is a founder Outdoor butterfly adventureIt was an integral part of the Via Dinarica Kosovo project. She also coincided with being the first person from Kosovo climbing Mount Everest, after she did it in 2017. On May 10, 2025, when she stood on the top of the 8586 meters of Kantingonga in the Himalayas, Ibrahimi became the first Balkan woman to climb all the mountains of 8,000 dead in the world. UTA returned to the hero at Prostina Airport. “I did it myself, but also my country,” says Ota. “Not only for Himalayas.”
I arrived in the capital of Priritina a few days ago. I walked the statues of Bill Clinton and Bob Doll; The past is the new cathedrals and mosques that date back. Wonderful and strange brutal architecture draws the look here – the most prominent National Library in KosovoAnd a group of exposed concrete blocks formed, loving the minerals and led by domes.
The Via Dinarica links PEJA, Deçan and Junik municipalities to West Kosovo. To start our adventure-walking for a long distance 40 miles from Via Dinarica-we traveled to the city of Peja, through which the cursed mountains like the castle walls rise.
We started in the third stage, with looks on the sunny Alps and green slopes that rise to prominent peaks. Red and White Waymarkers led us narrow paths to a 2,403 -meter, on the peak of 2,403 meters, on the borders of Kosovo and Montenegro. On one side, Redclin hails sharply to the Balkan pine in Kosovo and across the green valleys to the mountains of Albania. On the other hand, there is a vertical decrease near the Black Montenegro, through the rugged and exposed limestone cliff.
Spinach Burke ate for lunch at the top of Hagla, sitting next to the mysterious Edeloyis flowers in the form of a star, while Albin Chose was circulating above. We have grown in Era Lodge, a family wooden mountain compartment run by Fatos Lajçi, the world of emotional conservation. He said: “All in Europe, we have here.” Brown bears, wild pigs, wolves and even endangered Balkans. This laid is at risk of extinction, but sometimes she wandered into Lagi camera traps.
While we left the next morning, the patron of love songs sang and the heroes lost in his herd, and we joined Via Dinarica on a newly built section of the corridor. Going to Marj, we were mired in berries. Our shoes with brush against wild strawberries and carrots.
It was only a few days later, when we arrived Kulla Hospitality House In Milishevc, a building designed like an old stone tower, we met the other wandering. Here, we installed it on Köfte, washed with Rakı, “for digestion”.

The border with Montenegro soon became the border with Albania. We walked from the memorial to the fallen Uçk soldiers. Flasses of solid rain and fog, but the limestone stroke is desirable and challenging wild flowers withdrawals with bribes of colors. By the time we got to GACAFeri, the sun shine on tractors and goats in this remote quiet village.
In the evening there was a time for me to make a mistake in UTA for stories. It is full of tales. One of the tapes received by Valentine’s Day gifts. From columns, they decreased risky at 8000 meters; Among the loved ones who were lost on the faces of the mountains, or to war; From the days of the emotional summit and nights that dance in festivals.
Ibrahimi was 15 years old when she hit the war, but she spoke positively infectiously. “We had to stay inside for three months of bombing, and you never knew whether this is the last day of your life,” she says. ))
From GACAFeri, we put our attention on Gjeravica 2656 meters. It is a wonderful peak surrounded by heart lakes and snow spots. This side of the cursed mountains are more dramatic than the border with the Black Montecine, and the gentle green replaces its fierce gray. Above the mark of 2400 meters, we slide on the bright limestone panels with the elderly. At the top, the Kosovo flag flies over a triple point bearing the dual Albania eagle. There is a metal mark with the head of Uçk, and the view of the Kosovo Earth. Our descent is remarkably beautiful, as it extends along the isolated Gjeravica Lake, through the fields of berries, to herbal lands full of yellow flowers.
There is a soft beauty for this country. In mint, a smell in the promoter, in the sound of Whincats on the hills, in the flowers of the Edelweiss flowers on the high hills, and in the warmth of hospitality houses, where it is abundant porn and strong coffee.
“People want a calm, super, without any ways,” says Uta. “It is here to explore.”
