DESCRIPTION:[TRIP FULL. WAITLIST STARTED.] The Peaks of the Balkans trai
 l is a 192km circuit that passes through the spectacular mountainous bor
 der areas of south-eastern Montenegro, northern Albania and western Koso
 vo. We will start and finish the circuit at the Montenegrin town of Plav
 . The intention is to allow 23 days for this walking tour. The ‘standa
 rd’ time for the Peaks of the Balkans is 10 days. We will also do a nu
 mber of side-excursions from the trail, including walking to the summits
  of some of the peaks in the area. We will base ourselves in the Albania
 n village of Theth for several days, and do some day-walks from there. A
 t the end, we will spend 2-3 days in the spectacular Grebaje area, adjac
 ent to the standard Peaks of the Balkans route. And several rest days ar
 e also factored in. The Peaks of the Balkans trail is generally medium i
 n difficulty but with some more demanding sections (and easier sections)
 ; some of the day excursions will be strenuous. We will do the walk inde
 pendently, i.e. without using a commercial guiding service. There is sub
 stantial information available on this walk, including the official webs
 ite: https://peaksofthebalkans.com/. Among other resources, we will use 
 the following guidebooks: Cicerone guides “Trekking the Peaks of the B
 alkans’ and ‘Trekking the Mountains of Montenegro’ and ‘Peaks of
  the Balkans’ by Bosse & Bosse-Steinweg (in German). Participants will
  need to carry their own gear but the use of guesthouses and cabins mean
 s that backpacks can be kept relatively light. Parts of the walk will be
  physically demanding, requiring ascents/descents of 1000m+. Participant
 s should have experience in multi-day walks carrying a backpack. Those i
 nterested in this trip should register their interest on Bilby; the lead
 er can provide further information, including a proposed itinerary.
