The region of Dinaric Alps spreading across the north of Albania, the southwest of Kosovo, and the east of Montenegro which is also called “ Accursed Mountains”, counts to the least known areas in South East Europe. Until now, the mountain region of Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania has virtually remained untouched and is only sparsely inhabited. Thus, it has preserved its fascination and authentic character. The region is known for hospitality of its habitants, which visitors can enjoy while staying in one of the traditional houses that can be found along the trail in all three countries. The variety of accommodation ranges from traditional stone houses, so called “Kullas” , to mountain huts and small mountain lodges where local and house-made dishes are served by the local hosts.

We had an unforgettable time exploring the breathtaking Dinaric Alps with our family, soaking in the stunning landscapes and vibrant culture of the Balkans. Each day brought a new adventure, from epic hikes to quaint villages, and we were pleasantly surprised by the cozy accommodations that felt like a home away from home. While the trails were often challenging, especially for our younger ones, the sense of achievement we felt at each peak made it all worthwhile. One minor drawback was the occasional lack of clarity in the itinerary, which left us a bit confused at times. Overall, this journey exceeded our expectations and created lasting memories for our family.

The hiking experience through the Dinaric Alps was genuinely rewarding, with stunning views at every peak we reached. While our accommodations were mostly comfortable, a couple of the overnight stays felt a bit cramped.

Immersing myself in the breathtaking landscapes of the Dinaric Alps during my recent trek was nothing short of transformative. One moment that stands out vividly is when I reached a high vantage point after a demanding ascent, where the world seemed to unfold in a patchwork of lush valleys and towering peaks, a sight that made every blister worth it. The accommodation at a quaint mountain lodge provided a cozy refuge each evening, where the warmth from the fireplace was rivaled only by the hospitality of the hosts. While the trails were well-maintained, a few segments felt overly challenging for my fitness level, which led to a couple of tough days. However, the camaraderie with fellow hikers, sharing stories over dinner, often lifted my spirits. Each day was an adventure, blending moments of solitude with the thrill of discovery. Overall, I found this experience enriching, leaving me with a deep appreciation for the beauty and culture of the region.
