Description
“The High Scardus Trail, still largely unknown, cuts through some of the wildest, most varied landscapes in the Balkans. Picture sweeping mountain views, lush valleys, jagged peaks reminiscent of the Dolomites, rainbow-coloured wildflower meadows, dense forests… And that’s just the start. The trail weaves through North Macedonia, Kosovo, and Albania, and is no walk in the park — expect tough elevation profiles and rugged terrain. But one thing’s certain: the effort is handsomely rewarded with an unforgettable adventure.”
Jihaa! A lightweight hiking guide for the High Scardus Trail! This multi-day trek of 310 km in the Balkans is a feast for the eyes: perfect for hikers who love solitude, rugged landscapes, and technical terrain. The content of this guide is based on my own experience on the trail, with some fun personal touches here and there. I keep the contents inside as to the point as possible, so you don’t have to carry a big extra load.
What you’ll find inside:
-A day-by-day breakdown of the hike
–Overview maps for each day
–Elevation profiles for every stage
-A summary of facilities in each village
-A list of contact details for B&Bs, hotels, hostels, campsites, etc.
–Handy tips I wish I had known beforehand
–Sudokus (a must-have, duh)
-…and much more! 🙂
With the bundle option, you’ll receive both a digital version (compatible with phone, laptop, iPad, and e-reader) and a printed copy delivered to your home. The guide is printed in A5 format on water-resistant paper. The printing company is based in Belgium and operates 100% CO₂-neutral.
