This 119-mile Hiking Trail Crosses 3 Countries — and Some of Europe’s Most Untouched Scenery

"The Peaks of the Balkans is a long-distance transnational hiking trail that was launched in 2012 by a German development organization. It runs for 119 miles, crisscrossing the borders of Kosovo, Montenegro, and Albania. The trail attracts tourists to explore its wild landscapes and is known for its diverse scenery, including mountains, lakes, and fields, and the lack of border control posts. Accommodations vary from cabins to traditional dwellings, and the trail has become a tourism model for the region, transforming it economically." - Clodagh Kinsella
