Peaks of the Balkans - Part 1: Discover Albania (Tirana, Kruja, Shkodra, Valbona, Cerem, Doberdol)
Part 1/4 of Mike Harvey's footage on his Peaks of the Balkans trek, organized by Zbulo! Discover Albania in summer 2015.
(photos till 2:54min, afterwards and in part 2-4 almost only video!)
The tour kicks off in Albania's modern capital Tirana. The cultural program includes a visit of the former historic capital and hilltop castle Kruja as well as Northern Albania's laid back hub Shkodra, situated scenically at shores of the Balkans' largest lake backed by the Accursed Mountains
.
A tranquil ferry ride on the fjord-like Koman Lake takes the group into the heart of the Albanian Alps, the monumental Valbona National Park. Leaving the beaten path the adventurers travel into the wilderness of the Gashi River NP, the almost deserted village Cerem and remote seasonal shepherd settlement of Doberdol.
Our tours start in the period between June and September from Tirana, Pristina or Podgorica and usually last between one and two weeks. We put focus on immersive cultural experiences in the wild nature of the Accursed Mountains in an active and sustainable manner. The itinerary will always be adapted to fit your preferences when it comes to accommodation standard and walking grade. You prefer home stays and challenging treks or the comfort of a private en-suite room and scenic shorter outings? We will find the right trip for you!
Stay at family-run guesthouses, with shepherds but also in small boutique hotels. Indulge on traditional meals and organic ingredients (vegetarians welcome). Take it easy as your luggage is transported by car and on mules. Develop an understanding of the contemporary history and gain insights into the peculiar life of the highlanders and their deep-rooted traditions through your mountain and cultural guides. Our leaders are experts in their field and many trained by the German Alpine Association (DAV).
Don't wait until it's spoiled. Get to know three little known Balkan countries, their people, history, customs and cuisine!

A little about us...
We’re Lucy and Ben, two photographers from Cornwall, UK who’ve been living and travelling in our self-converted LDV Convoy camper van for the best part of four years. We’ve travelled all across Europe from West to East documenting our encounters with the people we meet as well as our own travels and adventures. We embrace the ethos of slow travel and minimal living, generally spending between 2 and 8 weeks in each country, getting to know each culture, cuisine and people as though we were locals ourselves as well as hiking, wild swimming and camping as we go.
We are currently on our third 7 month long road trip, travelling through the Balkans for the second time beginning in the French Alps and venturing as far East as Turkey, visiting 13 countries in between.
Our plan was simple: visit every country in Europe in our rusty tin can of a van. So far we’ve made it to 28 countries, travelling as far West as Portugal and as far East as Ukraine, having all sorts of crazy adventures in between.
Our main motivation for our travels is to capture photos and create documentary projects, so our van is primarily a vessel for our photography. We tend to focus on topics such as nomadism, traditional ways of life, the effects of recent political events and the difficulties of living in remote rural areas as well as documenting our own adventures and lifestyle on our various social channels.
We’ve had so many memorable experiences on our travels, and our photo documentary projects have given us an intimate insight into the lives of many different people and brought us together as friends.
We've visited the folk living in one of the most remote corners of Europe in the Albanian Alps, experienced the culture and traditions of the horsemen in the Hortóbagy National Park, and experienced life with Roma gypsies in their village in Romania, and there's still so much more to explore...

Western Balkans Beyond Immagination
#westernbalkans #holidays #travel
The Western Balkans has long been the crossroads of many civilizations. It is where mountains meet the sea. It is where ancient highland cultures still survive and even thrive. It is a place where many cultures have made one. A place where adventure is the rule. We'd like to share with you our secret garden, visiting the vast swathes of some of Europe's last remaining wilderness where indigenous European lifestyles can still be seen, felt and experienced. The synergies between our cultural and natural heritage makes us not only a unique destination but one that is close to home and even closer to heart.
Blerina Ago, the founder of Active Albania was one of the key speakers in the destination showcase webinar organized from the Adventure Travel Trade Association with the support of USAID, Economic Development, Governance and Enterprise Growth Project
