Ga mee op een heerlijke 6-daagse reis door de Peaks of the Balkans. Ontdek de charme van natuurlijke en culturele wonderen, ervaar de warmte van de lokale gemeenschappen en tradities, en laat u betoveren door de ongetemde schoonheid van de landschappen langs de bergpaden.
GPS-tracks te gebruiken via een smartphone-app of uw eigen GPS-apparaat
Accommodatie voor 6 nachten in hotels, pensions en berghutten. In de bergen worden de kamers gedeeld

5 ontbijten, 4 lunches, 4 diners
Ons lokale kantoor/vertegenwoordiger biedt 24/7 klantenservice
Bagagetransfer (kan op aanvraag worden aangeboden)
Ophalen en terugbrengen van de luchthaven (kan op aanvraag worden verzorgd)
Reisverzekering (moet door de reizigers zelf geregeld worden)
Bij aankomst in Shkodra wordt een privétransfer geregeld om u van Shkodra naar Theth te brengen. U wordt comfortabel ondergebracht in een pension, wat zorgt voor een soepel en prettig begin van uw verblijf.
De trek begint met een van de meest iconische wandelingen van Albanië, van het dorp Theth (728 m) over de majestueuze Valbona-pas (1759 m) naar het charmante stadje Valbona (995 m), gelegen in het hart van het gelijknamige nationale park. Dit pittoreske 20 kilometer lange pad volgt het spoor van een oud muilezelpad en verbindt de stamgebieden van Shala en Nikaj. Maak u klaar voor een schilderachtig avontuur door geschiedenis en natuur.
Er zijn twee mogelijke routes van Valbona naar Cerem: de ‘lage’ (dal)route en de spectaculaire ‘hoge’ route via de Prosllopi-pas (de route die wij volgen). Dit pad loopt via Kollata en is de langste etappe van de trek. Het is geopend omdat de gebruikelijke Valbona–Cerem-route via het ‘lage’ pad grotendeels een tractorpad is dat weinig te bieden heeft. Het Kollata-pad is erg mooi en biedt uitzicht op de steile rotsachtige berg Kollata, die gebruikt wordt voor klimmen.
Vandaag wandelt u tussen twee herdersdorpen, die alleen in de zomer bewoond zijn om gebruik te maken van de weelderige weiden. Doberdol, een dorp dat alleen via kleine paadjes met de buitenwereld verbonden is, is niet bereikbaar met de auto. Het dorp ligt onder het drielandenpunt tussen Albanië, Kosovo en Montenegro. Onderweg passeert u het dorp Balqin, waar u kunt stoppen voor een glas melk, geserveerd door de lokale herders.
Dit deel van de bergen staat onder strikte bescherming, omdat het ook de gletsjermeren van het Sulbica-plateau herbergt. De Gashi-vallei werd in 2017 opgenomen op de UNESCO-lijst van natuurlijk werelderfgoed.
Op deze dag steekt u de grens over van Albanië naar Montenegro en begint u aan een kortere wandeling van Doberdol naar Babino Polje. Vlak bij het begin beklimt u de Driegrenstop, zodat u in 15 minuten Albanië, Kosovo en Montenegro betreedt. Vervolgens loopt u langs de Kosovo-Montenegro grens voordat u afdalen naar Bogicevica Katun, een Montenegrijnse herdersnederzetting. De wandeling eindigt in Babino Polje, waar de gastheer van de herberg op u wacht.
Na een transfer van Babino Polje naar Vusanje begint u aan de 23 kilometer lange wandeling naar het historische Albanese dorp Theth, dat bekend staat om zijn traditionele levenswijze en stenen huizen.
Het pad slingert door het ruige terrein van de Vervloekte Bergen (Prokletije / Albanese Alpen), ooit een verboden gebied in de communistische tijd. Langs dramatische kliffen komt u een militaire bunker en oude grensborden tegen bij het betreden van Albanië.
Na de wandeling wordt u teruggebracht naar Shkodra.
