Things to do in Gusinje

Why you should go

Ninety seconds on Gusinje

The last town before the Albanian border, in a green basin at the foot of the Prokletije, with minarets, a few cafés and guesthouses that cater to walkers. It is a trailhead first. The Grebaje and Vusanje valleys open just south of town, the springs of Ali Pasha are a short drive away, and the walking crossing to Theth in Albania starts here. Carry a passport on any route that goes near the frontier ridge.

  1. Grebaje Valley

    Landmark · 6 hr

    A glacial valley ringed by the pale walls of the Karanfili peaks, reached by road south of Gusinje. It is the easiest way into the heart of Prokletije: walk from the road end to high viewpoints in a morning, or climb toward the Karanfili with a guide. The Peaks of the Balkans route passes through the neighbouring Vusanje valley on its way into Albania.

In spring, or the day after heavy rain, water spills over the whole weir and the drive is worth it.
