Be aware that the last 6 km are following the main road.
I start and finish in the hostels I stayed.
This is the most common part, so it’s very very crowded! Hundreds of people going both ways: to Valbona or to Theth.
Crowded but still nice section on the Peaks of the Balkans. I stayed in Okoli Theth and skipped Theth altogether.
The trail starts on a dirt road, passing several cafés on the way. After about 3 km, it continues on a fo...
From Theth valley everything is well market until Gropat e Bukura waypoint. After it if you are hiking at summer time you can follow the pyramids marks until the peak.
In the mountain pass you will have water on your l...
A serious loop hike to the broad summit of Maja e Popluks (2569 Meter), from which excellent views are to be had. The hike starts at the Gropat e Bukura, which is a good place to camp, and even a worthwhile destination b...

Going Up
Starting at Okol, after crossing the bridge, turn left. You just have to be looking at the track for the first few minutes until you find the white and red marks that signal the road.
The trail to the top of t...
Quite a challenging hike, especially route finding was difficult for me. But aside from that very nice views, lots of sc...Hannes Kaltofen
Radohimës seems to be a very popular hike these days! :)
We drove from Podgorica (MNE) and for some reason (that I won't disclose :) started walking from Bregu i Sukës, which is some 300m below start of the regular ro...
There are two peaks at Prozmi, 2452m and 2412. We started to hike from Okol, Theth. Up to Qafa e Pejes it takes 2 h and 900 m elevation gain. Then the trail turn left and up. It is well marked with red circles. First to ...
Maja e Alise 2471 m can be hiked from Valbona or Thethi. Both trails will reach a certain point at the saddle which is 900 m distance from the summit. Here is the dangerous part because it is very steep and falling stone...

A mountain with more than one name: Popluks, Paplukes, Popljuces... people can't agree! Let's stick with Popluks!
With 2569m it's only a mere meter lower than Radohima (one of our favourite mountains in the Albanian A...

Maja Jezerca West Route from Okoli Theth
Only do this route if you are in the western part of the Theth Valley, or Okoli. This is the shortest route up from that area.
Very long, often off track, scrambling really is not...
Paseo al atardecer en la aldea de Okol cerca de Theth, alrededor de nuestro hotel Cold Spring, regentado por emigrantes albaneses a New York.
Un lugar precioso ubicado en un valle rodeado de altas montañas.

Maja e Visensit is a difficult hike. It is the same trail the ascend to Maja e Radohines but at the saddle you turn on the east.
The difficult part is at the foot of the summit. The ascend is very steep and if you are n...
