Description

Discover the raw, untouched beauty of the Accursed Mountains on a spectacular circular hike that takes you across three legendary peaks: Popadija (2,030 m), Talijanka (2,057 m), and Volušnica (1,879 m). This full-day guided adventure starts in the Grebaje Valley, one of the most picturesque alpine valleys in the Balkans, surrounded by towering vertical cliffs and wild mountain silence. After a short introduction and safety briefing with your experienced local guide, the journey begins on a forest trail that gently climbs toward the high pastures. As you gain altitude, the landscape opens up to breathtaking views of the jagged Karanfili massif, with its sharp ridges and dramatic vertical walls. The first summit of the day is Popadija, offering stunning 360-degree views over the vast Prokletije range and deep valleys that separate Montenegro from Albania. From there, you follow a panoramic ridge trail to Talijanka, perhaps the most photogenic of all three peaks. The wide open views stretch as far as the Komovi mountains to the east and the Albanian Alps to the south — a perfect place to pause, breathe in the alpine air, and capture unforgettable photos. The final ascent takes you to Volušnica, a lower but no less impressive peak that offers a unique view back onto the Grebaje Valley and the awe-inspiring cliffs of Karanfili. Here, you’ll take a longer break to enjoy snacks, relax, and reflect on the journey so far. This is a moment where silence speaks louder than words — just you, the mountains, and the endless sky. The descent follows a different trail through quiet mountain terrain and scattered pine trees, completing the circular route and returning you to where it all began. Along the way, your guide will share insights about local history, traditional shepherd life, unique flora and fauna, and the mountain legends that give the Prokletije their mystical charm. This hike is ideal for travelers in good physical condition who want a truly immersive mountain experience, away from the crowds. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a passionate nature lover, this tour will leave you inspired, recharged, and deeply connected to one of the wildest corners of Europe.
