Hinking in North Macedonia – Adventure from Skopje to Lake Ohrid

In May 2019, we hiked across this little unknown country in the heart of the Balkans. With no access to the sea, there's no mass tourism in North Macedonia. We crossed the country walking from the border with Kosovo, near Skopje to the gorgeous lake Ohrid before reaching Albania.

We did most of our itinerary in North Macedonia with Jesse, he joined us for the second time from the Netherlands!

Our hiking route led us through the amazing Matka Canyon and the nice Mavrovo National Park but also through a massive garbage dump and some beautiful but dying villages...

Hiking in Montenegro – From the Highlands to the Deep Canyons

Hiking, mountaineering, skying, enjoying the coast... We all know someone who had a good reason to go to Montenegro. Now that we've hiked more than 350 kilometers there, we can tell you more about this beautiful little country.

We crossed 3 of its 6 national parks: Durmitor of course, probably the most famous, Biogradska Gora, the smallest one and Prokletije, the most recent on the edge of the Albanian border.
Arriving in Montenegro, we discovered how high this country is with all those plateaux and mountains.

But for us, Montenegro will definitely be the country of canyons! From Tara canyon to Mrtvica, going through Susica and Nevidio. There were all different and sumptuous.

Hiking in Bosnia and Herzegovina – The Heart of the Balkans

From our memories and the media, we mostly think of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a country at war, of Sarajevo as a city under siege... Believe us today this country has multiple facets to show and a lot to offer.

We discovered warm and generous people everywhere we've been, gorgeous and mighty mountains from Blidinje to Bjelašnica, without forgetting Prenj, "the Bosnian Himalayas"... Lukomir, the highest village of the country was a fantastic experience. Hiking this part of the Via Dinarica in winter wasn't easy, it was a real challenge but we made it!

Sarajevo is a fascinating city where so many cultures and influences meet. It is the evidence of the country and region complicated History.
In some way, we fell in love with Bosnia and Herzegovina!
