August 17, 2024,Balkan Trail | Etappe 5: Vusanje - Theth

abenteuermomente.de/balkan-trail-wandern

Between the Cursed Mountains we first hike up a forest path and then through the Ropojana Valley, where we cross the border into Albania again.

With every step the landscape becomes more beautiful. I feel a bit like I'm in the Dolomites. The rugged mountain flanks line our path to the right and left.

The trail begins with a gentle climb, wide paths, narrow paths, crossing a (according to the map) wide riverbed, and finally crossing the border into Albania. Up through a patch of forest, open plains surrounded by mountains, enchanting🤩, a bit rocky, a short climb, a break at a bunker. Narrow paths lead through the landscape, magnificent, wonderful🤩. Then the descent, …

In the morning I got out of the tent really grumpy and apparently on the wrong side of the bed. It rained quite heavily at night, so that huge numbers of slugs declared our tent roof their new home. Disgusting!

Today we puffed through the kilometers and the descent.
Many fragrant meadows, even a flower meadow at 1700 m.
A glacial lake in front of us, but dry. Then it goes steeply uphill until we reach the pass. Several bunkers along the way. Now the treacherous descent begins. An hour before Theth, there's a bar with taxi service. We treat …
