Description
Discover the High Scardus Trail, one of Europe’s most breathtaking and untouched mountain ranges. Hike through the Sharr Mountains in Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Albania, and explore stunning natural landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and endless opportunities for adventure. Covering over 495 kilometers, the Scardus Trail meanders through towering peaks, lush alpine meadows, Korabi Summit, and sparkling glacial lakes. Engage with the diverse plant and animal life of this pristine area while taking in sweeping views of the unspoiled wilderness. Each segment of the trail presents a distinct experience, from navigating ancient trade routes to visiting traditional villages where time appears to stand still. As you journey along, be welcomed by the warm hospitality and local customs of the mountain communities, providing genuine cultural experiences and regional specialties. The trail caters to both seasoned trekkers and those preferring a more relaxed pace, with options for multi-day hikes or shorter excursions. The High Scardus Trail has deep historical and cultural roots, tied to the rugged Sharr Mountain range that spans Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Albania. This region has been a vital passage and home to various civilizations for centuries, including the Illyrians, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. The trail follows ancient shepherding routes and trade paths used for transporting goods like wool, cheese, and livestock between mountain villages.Includes
