ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
The Rugova is international trail country: the Via Dinarica (the Dinarides’ white-trail spine) and the Peaks of the Balkans (the 192-km Prokletije loop) both run the high villages above the gorge, and the marked day-hikes (the Hajla approach, the Leqinat lake) make the mountain accessible without the multi-day commitment.
