Some places you don’t just see, you feel them.

Up on Bjelasica, the trail to Pešića Lake was coated in dry dust that clung to our boots, while the slopes around us shifted in shades of golden grass and rust-colored brush. The air hung hazy, softening the distant ridges until they looked painted in pale violet. As the sun dipped, it set everything ablaze — the lake mirrored fire, and the group stood in quiet awe, sharing that fleeting moment where time slowed and the mountain felt alive just for us.

And that’s the beauty of traveling in a small group, with a local leading the way — you don’t just pass through landscapes, you connect with them. You share stories over the trail, laugh through the tough climbs, and know your journey gives back to the very communities who keep these mountains alive. It’s a better way to travel, for everyone.

On the largest lake in the Balkans...

Skadar Lake captivates you before you even realize it. In the early morning, a soft mist hovers over the water as little islands peek out like they're playing hide and seek. Pelicans glide by so close you can hear their wings, while the surrounding mountains make you feel tucked away in an untouched sanctuary.

The towns along the marshy coastline are like time capsules. Locals still spend their days on boats, and old stone houses stand crooked, seemingly molding into the ground. Sun-soaked, filled with taverns, inns, and old markets—you feel transported into some kind of enchanting pirate movie!

Our experience wouldn't have been the same without Daniela sharing stories about the place and Igor, whose patience and dedication made us feel cared for throughout the drive. They transformed what could have been just a trip to a lake into a journey through legend and folklore.

Hey, greetings from Kobil Do — little spot tucked right under the Komovi peaks. Cabin’s an cosy dark A-frame, feels like it’s been here forever, same as these mountains. Locals say Komovi’s been a border, a lookout, and a shepherd’s playground for centuries. Now it’s just us, the group, and a view that makes you forget aaaall the unnecessary noise...

We all could use a little bit of this from time to time.
Come join us where the peaks meet the starry nights!

sweaty shirts, sore legs, and a few 'are we there yet?' moments — but then you look up and see a glacier-blue lake, wild horses or a hawk circling over the peaks and suddenly it's all worth it. We even spotted a couple of wild goats on the rocks. Hard walks, but wow... every view felt like a reward.

Took a detour from the high peaks, historic centres, and breathtaking views for a day in the countryside, spent with family, in the region where some of our roots can be traced back to. Near here, the Balkan mountains start to rise, their caves spout springs which feed the tributary creeks and rivers destined on their constant flow to travel far until the Danube, and further into the seas. The now aging population of the surrounding villages greets those passing, and those visiting with smiling eyes and warm plates. Something one can always come back to, the feeling or thought that in our cores we live for the opportunity to impact others with care, affection and grace.

“Zla kolata really got me. we huffed up that last stretch, legs jelly, but the second we reached the top — silence. just mountains everywhere, like the world kept folding over itself in stone. everyone kind of spaced out for a moment, didn’t even say much. just stood there with stupid grins, taking it in. i don’t know… something about being way up there with these people, who were strangers a week ago, just made it all hit different. felt like a dream you get to share with the same bunch of wonderful, random folks…”

Weaving past the smaller islands, on the ferryboat we strike up conversation for the twentieth or thirtieth time. A bit deeper than the regular shouts and signals we communicate by while cycling. It’s the crossing from the fish-bone patterned, stone city to the immense peninsula of Peljesac. This conversation has it’s own timer, in 10 short minutes we’ll be off the back-n-forth boat and on our trusty two wheels again - back to gesturing towards magnificent landscapes, pointing out potholes here and there, stopping to swim in hidden villages where domestic coffee brew fill the coast and the scattered hills of islands fill the horizon…
Another day to be thankful for in this beautiful land.

One more amazing holiday under the belt!

So grateful to the wonderful family that spent this past week waking early, cycling, eating, drinking, laughing and making memories on the splendid coast of Croatia. This is one dear moment that stood out, this afternoon ride to the nearby town and back. The sun had juuuust about set, the roads were calm and the breeze just pleasant enough to make us dance along…

Thank you so much for coming, and hope to see you again!

The stars lit our path, the herbs we picked scented our tea, and the fire told the rest of the story…

Trekking through the Dinaric Alps is the kind of adventure that stays with you. From headlamp-lit trails to a warm meal in camp, this is where simplicity becomes magic.
If you’ve ever dreamed of sleeping under clear starry skies in long forgotten wilderness of the Balkan Peninsula — now’s the time.

Soaring high above the serpentine curves of the Uvac River, this panoramic reel captures the dramatic beauty of the Uvac meanders—nature’s artwork carved deep into the limestone canyon of southwest Serbia. But this isn’t just a feast for the eyes—it’s also a sanctuary. This region is home to one of Europe’s largest birds, the majestic Griffon Vulture, which was once nearly extinct here.

Thanks to dedicated conservation efforts, these powerful birds now glide freely over the canyon, their 2.8-meter wingspans casting shadows over the cliffs as they nest on vertical rock faces and patrol the skies above. As we take in the winding emerald waters and steep white limestone walls, we’re reminded that wild places like these are both breathtaking and vital.

With its vibrant golden blooms and perfectly rounded petals, the Globe flower (Trollius europaeus) looks like a wild buttercup dressed for a royal ball.

🌼 Native to the cool, moist meadows and alpine regions of Europe, the Globe flower is right at home in the Balkan highlands, especially in Montenegro, Bosnia, and Slovenia, where it thrives in subalpine forests and near glacial streams.

It blooms in late spring and early summer, often catching the eye of hikers like a tiny sun rising from the grass. Botanically, it’s a member of the Ranunculaceae family, and while it looks sweet, it’s mildly toxic to livestock — nature’s way of keeping it safe.

We hiked up in the early morning, the trail still damp from the night before, winding through dark conifer forest and sunlit clearings. By the time we reached the top, the sky had opened wide — and there it was: the Tara River Canyon, cutting a silver thread through endless green.

What made this moment even more special was how our group came together. On this leg of the Pearls of Montenegro tour, it felt like we were no longer strangers — just a team of curious, kind adventurers sharing laughs, trail snacks, and stories from across the world. There’s something about these wild places that makes people open up. Our picnic at the top, overlooking the canyon, was quiet - not because we had nothing to say, but because the view said it all.
