The route is challenging: demanding climbs, limestone formations that take your breath away in every sense, and terrain that tests your legs and spirit. But every step is worth it. Beyond the imposing landscapes are the people. In every village we pass through, a story, a smile and a lovingly prepared meal await. We sleep in family homes, sharing meals, customs and a warmth that money cannot buy.
Walking through the heart of the Balkans
Some places retain an authentic character, including the Dinaric Alps. Compared with more visited ranges such as the Alps, our Pyrenees and the Dolomites, this route offers a return to the origins.
An adventure for those who love walking up and down mountains, enjoying the effort as much as the reward. A B/C difficulty route inviting you to walk and reconnect.
