Bashkimi Guesthouse, Doberdol

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In June 2023, overnight stays with dinner, breakfast and a packed lunch cost €30 per person. The food is plentiful & delicious. The "shower toilets" found in most guesthouses are well thought out here: the water drains directly into the standing toilet 😂👍

Zemra Lake (Heart Lake)

Highlight • Lake

Clear, cold mountain lake that you pass on the way to the summit of Gjeravica. It takes its name from its shape reminiscent of a heart.

Gjeravica Peak (2,656 m)

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in Kosovo (but no longer official). I think the route up there is easy, but you should be careful because there are a lot of mines on one side of the mountain that are still there after the war. I was also attacked by 3 large herding dogs and it was exciting.

I also think the surroundings are very beautiful and you can enjoy nature.

There are several routes and you can take one there and another back.

Today we let the Peaks of the Balkans rest for a day. We want to climb the highest mountain in Kosovo, Gjeravica. ⛰ First we cross the Doberdol valley to the end, passing herds of free-roaming cows and horses.
