This is the first English-language guide to the The Peaks of the Balkans Trail, a 192km circular route through the wild and rugged borderlands of Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo. The route can be hiked in around two weeks and the guide also includes suggestions for excursions to bag neighbouring peaks and visit local sites of interest.

While a moderate level of fitness is assumed, the walking itself is not difficult and makes use of existing paths and tracks. Developed to promote sustainable local tourism and transcend political borders, the Trail winds its way through the spectacular scenery of the Prokletije mountains, taking in high passes and remote valleys.

Despite increasing visitor numbers, the area remains underdeveloped and unspoilt. The guide contains all the information needed to plan a successful trip, with comprehensive advice on travel, permits and safety, details of local facilities, services and accommodation, and a useful glossary of words and phrases in Montenegrin and Albanian.
