Accursed Mountains circuit – 4 days of stunning views

I think this is one of the best circuits of the Accursed Mountains. It is a pass-through three beautiful valleys, Valbona, Vusanje, and Theth Valley, and two countries between Montenegro to Albania. Check out the details of the Accursed Mountains circuit:

Day 1: Hike from Valbona to Vusanje via Rosi Pass (Rosi peak)

Valbona to Vusanje is one of the best trails of the Accursed Mountains. Regardless of the fact that it is not very popular (like Valbona to Theth), I think it is more beautiful. This hike is not only a pass from a village to another village, but it is also a pass-through two beautiful Valleys, Valbona Valley to Vusanje Valley, and it is a pass from the country of Montenegro to Albania. When you reach Rosi Pass, if you have energy, I would highly suggest going to the Rosi peak 2’524. The view from the top is breathtaking:

Day 2: Hike from Vusanje to Theth via Peja Pass

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful day. This hike is not only a pass from a village to another village, but it is also a pass-through two beautiful Valleys, Vusanje Valley to Theth Valley, and it is a pass from the country of Montenegro to Albania. So, you have the chance to cross the border with a view!

The best landscape is from Peja Pass 1’865 m/alt. From there you can see the beautiful Valley of Theth:

Trail:

Theth National Park is one of the most isolated places in Albania and offers access to the most pristine landscape along with a rich history of the highlands that lay uninfluenced by outsiders for centuries. What you will find is a small community that lives off the land, surrounded by magnificent mountains. Read more here.

 

Day 4: Hike from Theth National Park to Valbona Valley

Theth to Valbona is one of the most beautiful and popular hikes in the Accursed Mountains (Prokletije). During this hike, you will enjoy the views of the Theth Valley and Valbona Valley. This hike is a moderate one, and the path is open from the middle of May until the middle of November. The highest peak of this trail is Qafa e Valbones (Valbona pass) and the altitude is around 1’795 m/alt. You can read more here.
