From Ohrid, the route to Kosovo continued through the mountains of North Macedonia with Albania to the west and Kosova to the North.
The small village of Janche is nestled in the mountains of the Mavrovo National Park.
Where remnants of old Yugoslavian industry can be found.
Beside the new highway heading to Peje in NW Kosova sits the Terzi Bridge. A fine example of Ottoman architecture.
The destination, though, was the White Drin Falls in the Accursed Mountains near the border with Montenegro. A spectacular natural park. With the waterfall….
And limestone caves.
This area of Kosova and its border with Montenegro is home to significant forests of Spruce, Beech and Fir trees.
Just over the border with Montenegro is the village of Rozaje and nearby nested in the forest in the most beautiful camp ground.
These forests are the best I’ve visited in Europe, amazing old growth forests.
It was late September in the mountains so turning cold. But the welcome at Sastanci – Grahovaca was as warm as the fire and the home cooked meal fresh and delicious.
It was hard to find but worth it!
The adventure continues! XOXO
Just really catching up.on where i was back in Sept. Beautiful place
Beautiful country and I guess seldom visited!
Really beautiful. The mountains around where Kosova, Montenegro, and Albania meet ate quite remotely and sparcely populated. Hence the old forests.
Thank you as always for taking us to these amazing places
Almost at the end of last years trip!
Beautiful forests and that fish meal looked delicious!
