Where we go · Western Balkans

Six countries we know on foot and by bike

Montenegro is our home, but we run journeys across the wider Western Balkans — designed by local guides who know each region in every season.

Albania

Albania

Albania

Albania is a Balkan republic of 28,748 km², with coastlines on the Adriatic and Ionian seas and borders with Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Greece. Independent since 1912, it holds 15 national parks, the UNESCO-listed ruins of Butrint, and Mount Korab at 2,764 m. Tirana, the capital of about 700,000, sits 19 km from the airport. The mix of sea-level shore and near-3,000 m peaks within a compact country makes it worth the journey for walkers and cyclists alike.

Bosnia & Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia & Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina packs the highest reaches of the Dinaric Alps, a 300-year-old primeval forest and a 24 km Adriatic coastline into 51,209 km². The country's oldest national park, Sutjeska, established 1962, holds the summit of Maglić at 2,386 m, the untouched Perućica reserve and a 75 m waterfall. Add the memorial to a 1943 battle and a lake shaped like a heart at 1,517 m, and the case for the journey is straightforward.

Croatia

Croatia

Croatia

Plitvice Lakes is Croatia's oldest national park, where sixteen terraced lakes drop 133 metres from Prošćansko down to Novakovića Brod, linked by waterfalls and boardwalks that run directly over the water. The travertine dams that hold the lakes still grow about a centimetre a year. Set in the Dinarides of central Croatia, roughly halfway between Zagreb and Zadar, it rewards a full day of walking on marked trails, a boat across Lake Kozjak and a climb to Veliki Slap.

Kosovo

Kosovo

Kosovo

Kosovo packs two national parks into a country you can cross in a few hours. The Accursed Mountains rise to 2,656 m at Gjeravica in the west, cut by the 25 km Rugova Canyon near Peja. The Sharr Mountains hold 145 named peaks and glacial lakes above 2,000 m in the south. Between them sit UNESCO-listed medieval monasteries, a 25 m waterfall on the White Drin, and Europe's longest Via Ferrata. Pristina airport puts all of it within 90 km.

Montenegro

Montenegro

Montenegro

Montenegro packs five national parks, the Adriatic coast and the southern Dinaric Alps into a country smaller than Wales. It's where we live and where most of our trips begin.
