12-Nights Balkans Best of the Via Dinarica Hiking

Journey deep into the Balkans, tracing the wild spine of the Dinaric Alps from Bosnia and Herzegovina's Olympic slopes to Albania's dramatic Accursed Mountains on the Via Dinarica—a 1,200-mile network of trails through the Balkans. Scale rugged peaks and high passes for rewarding 360-degree views of craggy crests and glacial valleys. Raft the turquoise Tara River through a sheer gorge. Spend time in small, very traditional Lukomir and Theth villages. Visit Sarajevo's sobering Tunnel of Salvation and see a remnant of the Berlin Wall. Explore exquisite UNESCO-listed historic monuments in Mostar and Kosovo.

Highlights:

• Journey through four countries in 13 days, scaling Dinaric Alps peaks and passes
• Discover UNESCO-listed treasures in Ottoman-influenced Mostar and Kosovo
• Raft down the deepest canyon in Europe on the Tara River's Class II-III rapids

Important Trip Details:
The hiking in the Dinaric Alps can be quite rugged, with steep ascents and descents across varied terrain. Expect everything from lush forests and dry peaks. Loose stone, mud, and open elements. Given the distance we cover across four countries, it’s entirely possible to find just as diverse weather.

Minimum Age: 18
