Peaks of the Balkans Project
Two members of our club, Endrit Shima and Gerhard Duro have been working on this project on travel writing and GPS mapping (Endrit Shima) and scouting and marking (Gerhard Duro).
In 2011 the three countries of the Peaks of the Balkans regions agreed on common cross border procedures if hikers wish to cross the country borders up in the mountains. Now the hikers have to apply for an approval at least 15 days in advance at the respective police institutions in the leaving country.
The required application form, available in local and English language, is provided at the border police offices and downloadable here.
The procedure can still be difficult and bureaucratic, so it might be easier to directly contact us and we will organize the tour for you.
