Other relics of Western Balkans’ 20th-century history can also be found on the trail, such as former dictator Enver Hoxha’s

across Albania, a machine-gun holder in North Macedonia, and abandoned Soviet-era structures in Kosovo.While High Scardus aims to showcase the jewels of the Western Balkans, it’s equally a project of sustainable development. It’s hoped an ecosystem of businesses will emerge, improving the quality of life for locals and giving them reasons to stay.

“We hope that above all, the young population sees their homeland in a new perspective, of which they can be rightly proud,” says Stefan Lieb-Lind, lead trail designer from High Scardus’ consultants the Trail Angels.Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited. Building enthusiasm at the government level is a long-term process. But training programs and grants have helped develop accommodations along the route, and have sparked interest in local stakeholders to invest in the trail’s surrounding rural areas.
