I Hiked from Montenegro to Albania - Peaks of the Balkans 🇲🇪

In this Grebaje Valley hike in Prokletije National Park (Accursed Mountains), I conquered Taljanka on a hike that goes from Montenegro to Albania and back. Not sure how this is allowed because the countries definitely don't share open borders, but it is. I started from Plav and went to Gusinje to start the hike and ended back there in the evening. Have to say the Karanfili peaks and the views were breathtaking and hope my cameras did them justice. Definitely going back soon for more of Peaks of the Balkans, this time from the Albanian side.
Correction: Apparently Plav is in the North-east*. Got confused by the a border on the south sorry lol

On both sides of those mountains (border) live Albanians. Both of them are some of the most honorable Albanians. Of they new you were in their area they would have done everything they could for your safe passage. Nice video by the way.

This is phenomenal. The view is really beautiful as well as the trails. The best part is when you pet the dog 🙂 Tons and tons of narcotics passed through these trails...Keep rocking 🥂🙂🍀

[@NadirOnTheGo]

Thank you so much! The part about narcotics sounds wild!! I heard people illegally pass through it too. So you know why it's not policed?

[@endripajaziti9690]

I mean its not an easy job to police those mountains is it

[@A_Proud_Serb]

@@NadirOnTheGoYes, for people who are not familiar. Albania supplies half of Europe. Even as a kid, I knew that cannabis goes from Montenegro to Serbia through similar paths. I believe you saw Serbia from the top of the mountain. The police are paid, corrupt. Big money is at stake.Albania and Montenegro have the sea. So there are various options as it has been done for years. A few months ago, 500 kg of cocaine was found in the warehouse of a supermarket. It is also transported by trucks and speedboats almoust every day.Or from Serbia to the Montenegro.The most powerful people make it possible...

[@mentorsulollari8104]

You are welcome to come to🇲🇪 again....Also Prokletije were in 60s described as the worst place to live in Europe(unresearched)...As even today some parts remained “untamed” and without definitive pathways. Yet for centuries and centuries there were and still there are people(tribes) living in those mountains. Scary place to find yourself in winter.

6:13 There is no border control because the region you are hiking in is called "Malesia". The inhabitants of the Montenegrin and the Albanian side are ethnically Albanian. That border only exists on the map and is artificial.

Lake (Plav's Lake) is actually named after the city of Plav... Plav is most probably named after roman emperor Phlavius, since, at the time, this area was under the Romans. I'm glad you liked my city and beautiful mountains of Prokletije, although its 10 times better in the summer, with tourists, festivals and "greener" nature. Few places that you should have gone to are the stunning Hrid lake and Visitor lake, but maybe some other time :)

[@lagjescuni5482]

Denis Basic...the mountains are called Albanian alps lool...Prokletije is only a translation into the Slavic languages of the words bjeshket e nemuna..(accursed mountains)

[@lagjescuni5482]

in reality also the name of montenegro is an incorrect translation of the Venetians who have confused the Albanian terms (Malsi =highland)..with the term malzi or mal i zi which means black mountain

[@denisbasic6597]

Ah yes, teach me about the city that I've been living in for 23 years now.. ne gubite se

[@lagjescuni5482]

@Sava Todorović what you said does not contradict what I said....btw also the term balkan is a Turkish term..originally used for some mountains in bulgaria and today it is used mistakenly as a geographic and geopolitical term for many countries..but turkish slavic ect names or terms they are not native here in our region

[@ssir5927]

The town (urban-ish settlement) of Plav only dates back to the Ottomans. The name however is much older and was applied to the wider region, the Zupa Plav. Most likely origin is from Po-PLAV, as the region is very much defined by the flood valley of the river. Before modern river channelization the floods were a common seasonal occurrence.

Will you go back to turkey?
