British Daily The Guardian has dedicated an article to places to visit during this country.
This article also managed to list Kosovo and Albania, which according to the British media are definitely worth visiting.
History books provide essential context for hiking in Kosovo, but they don't prepare you for the beauty of the mountains, the article says.
“Over the summer I spent a week on Kosovo’s Via Dinarica, which was recently redefined. We walked past the wildflowers on the border ridge with Montenegro; steep and steep on one side and vibrant green on the other, descending towards meadows of pink and yellow wildflowers,” it was said, among other things.
Bees flew around the high cliffs, while brightly colored bee-eaters perched on branches below.
Wild animals lost to much of Europe still thrive here (bears, wolves, lynxes) in a mosaic of oak and beech trees, blueberries and shrubs, deep valleys and high plateaus.
Mountain lakes create dreamy swimming spots beneath the towering peaks near Albania, reports Telegraph.
“We stayed in isolated huts with a mountain backdrop, where burek was eaten in the evening and accompanied by raki - a homemade fruit alcoholic drink that varied greatly in quality and strength.
As for Albania, the first stop of the family hiking vacation in Albania this summer left an unforgettable impression and proved that getting off the beaten path often brings the greatest rewards.
"We spent two nights at the Lëpushë guesthouse, a guesthouse surrounded by orchards, beehives and small farms that stretch towards the Nemuna Mountains - a giant amphitheater. Arriving at dusk, the children (10 and 12 years old) played with kittens on the veranda of our cabin while we chatted with the owner about life in Lëpushë," it was said, among other things, about the Albanian natural beauties.
Migration abroad or to the cities is a problem (the local school has only one student) and tourism is a lifeline for anyone left behind. Fortunately, Lëpushja has many opportunities.
“On the first day, we jumped off cliffs into a bright blue swimming hole and ate homemade cheese and bread at a shepherd’s hut (summer camp). On the second day, we hiked to the top of Nagvac Peak (2,412m) on almost deserted trails, tasting wild blueberries along the way. Despite all this, Lëpushja receives a fraction of the visitors that nearby Thethi and Vusanja welcome, because it is not on the well-known “Peaks of the Balkans” hiking trail,” The Guardian noted. /Telegraph/
