HIKING IN ALBANIA - 600 km from Valbona to Saranda
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Before reaching Albania, we heard absolutely everything about this country, the best and the worst. Now, after having hiked 600 kilometers there from North to South, we are happy to share with you our experience of Spring 2019.
We literally fell in love with Albania and Albanians. We discovered a country where the nature is still all around and where people would not only invite you for a dinner and a homestay, they would give you their bed to make you feel at home and to give you the best experience of their country.
No less than 6 guests came to hike with in this amazing country!
We arrived from Montenegro in the Valley of Valbona, climbed to Theth before heading towards the Lake Skodër. We discovered the surroundings of the Lake Uzle and took a ferry ride on the Lake Komani. From there, we went to Kosovo and North Macedonia. We came back to Albania on the edge of the lake Ohrid, in Pogradec and went adventuring in the mountains of Korça. The canyon of Osum was spectacular and the city of Gjirokaster very nice. Of course, we visited the Blue Eye, probably the most touristic place of Albania. Finally, we reached the sea between Saranda and Ksamil before crossing the border with Greece.
◄COUNTRY EPISODES - 16 COUNTRIES TO DISCOVER►
From Portugal to Turkey, our journey on foot will lead us across 17 countries of Europe: Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey.
Our thru-hike is the perfect opportunity to discover the beauty of nature and culture in the old continent!

You made me cry again, it's been 20 years far from home, far from my land and I still have the strong desire to turn back.
People saying that I have a good job, a better life but I keep feeling the taste and the smell of my land where my DNA was forged, the smell of my grandmother's hands feeding me when I was a child where I couldn't even been for her funeral.
But in the end this is the price for not knowing how to build a better society.
Oh... You are gonna make me cry now! Yes we fell in love with the country and the people here even we could feel how tough some aspects of the life could be here and how most people have so little hope to see their country following the right path for a peaceful and a fair development.
But 20 years far from your mother land, damn that's long
@@FurtherStories me too...
So long...😢
Do you live outside of Europe ?
@@caliz9840 i live in Europe but not in my homeland...
@@patrycjawinklerhegi9863 If it isn't that far you should visit the country of your origin . It's something good for your inner peace to do so i guess
bravo te qoft ,per kete video ,muzika figura ,te gjitha shum bukur.
Faleminderit shume !! Usshtë shumë e rëndësishme për ne të marrim komente të tilla nga shqiptarët !!
thank you very much,,,you made my day with this vid,,,
thank you!! very glad you liked it :D Do you know Albania ?
@@FurtherStoriesim from albania korca and i visited mostly of this places in this vid and seen those places from a different angel,,,, this vid gave me goosebumps you caught the essence of albaninan origine,,,,thank you guys very nice work
This video really touched my heart, thank you so much guys for this amazing video. I didn’t expect to cry when I started watching it but I did. The beauty of Albania lays on its people’s hearts. The hospitality it’s paramount for Albanians regardless if they are poor or not they will go out of their ways to make you feel welcome and respected . Oh and the beauty of its nature, just mesmerising. Greetings from Sydney Australia!
Thank you so much for your words. Yes Albania is a beautiful and underrated country, in all its aspects. We never met people with such big hearts! ❤️🇦🇱
It's an honor knowing that now finally the world can how truly amazing we Albanians are ❤️🇦🇱 feeling homesick a bit from Las Vegas NV USA
I LOVE❤ALBANIA
Same here!!! 😍😍 Fantastic country!
@@FurtherStories merci +1 😊🖒
its good to see the remotest area, these are the beaten tracks that most tourists do not get to explore, this is where the soul of the country lies, you get to see the real hospitality of people and you are away from the commotion and noise of touristy areas where most people flock, the majority of Albanian heartlands are sparsely populated and nature is untouched, a true gem for people who seek more than a shallow sun and beach holiday, its a country for people who love adventure and want to meet real people who open up they homes and hearts to you.
Yes, this is how we like to travel and this gives us the feeling to have trully discovered a country even though we cannot absolutely everywhere in the country, we would need a lifetime for this.
Albania really suprised us, we were not prepared for so much beauty and kindness. I hope it will stay like this for as long as possible, there is not many places left like this on earth...
Vlla ke 100% te drejte , kjo eshte videoja me e sakte , e bukur dhe domethenese qe une kam pare ne YT per vendin tone te bere nga nje turist duke nisur nga muzika dhe cdo gje tjeter . Respekte per ty vllai im nga Libofsha .
Soy albanes de macedonia vivo en barcelona tambien👍me alegro que lo a gustado👍
Muchísimas gracias! No vivimos en Barcelona, somos franceses! 😊
13 minutes of pure poetry. And the music choice...exquisite. Welcome to Albania 🇦🇱 . It belongs as much to our guests as it does to us. Muchas gracias 😊. Faleminderit.
Thank you so much ! We loved Albania !
One of the best video I'v seeen about Albania.
Great great job!
Wow thank you so much!!!! This is really nice to read!!
I'am Macedonian, basically in the past people didn't love each other that much in the past due to political reasons, but on my vacation in Albania ( Tirana, Cost line and almost every part ) i can say that Albanians are great and welcoming people, and Albania have so much to offer ! Many love from Macedonia
Hey thank you so much for your comment! I must say that it is quite rare that we receive such comment about our videos from people from other countries in the Balkans! Thank you for this!! Albania is a fantastic country and its people is amazing.
Did you like our video about Macedonia? 😊
@@FurtherStories yes of course its amazing, you should visit other parts of Macedonia too 👍 thanks for visiting Balkans
Yes I know! But of course we couldn't go everywhere... It's already a 2-year-trip 😂 Thanks for having us in the Balkans 😊
Been 3 years now i still don’t know when i am going back even though i am from the north of albanian (strong man haha) i can say that i cryed watching and reading the description you did. I am glad you liked the country and that you showed the wrong parts too. Thank you for this video even though i cant feel it myself i feel a happiness through what you posted.
I am so glad to read your message. When people of the countries liked our videos, it is the best reward w me could imagined! Albania was a fantastic surprise and will stay in our hearts forever!
Great job,congrats
Thank you so much! Do you know Albania?
I just want to say only one thing...THANK YOU !
Albania is an amazing country with proud people and ancient story. Please spread this wondeful experience and all what you have seen with people who have no idea about our country. Thank you again and you are wellcome whenever you want.
Thank you so much! Yes it's a beautiful country and its people is awesome, generous and kind! Thank you Albania 🥰
Welcomed when ever you want 😂🤣😂🤣 you can only say that if you’re paying for that, or if he’s forbidden to come , but you’re letting or permitting him to come 🤣😂🤣😜
Wtf this was the best video i ever seen for my country
U made me cry
Oh wow thank you so much! These kind of comments from an Albanian person worth so much to us! 😍
Loved it too!! Also made me cry and miss my Malsia and my whole big Albania
Loved it! Makes us want to go back there right now. Great choice of music as well. :)
Thanks a lot!!! We miss Albania so much!
What a superb production and storytelling, like a pro.
Congratulations
Thank you so much!! Glad you liked it!
Very nice video! Best I have seen so far on Albania
Thank you so much!! Really touching!!
Faleminderit per videon e mrekullueshme,uroj qe te keni shijuar qendrimin ne shqiperi.ju faleminderit.
Qëndrimi ynë në Shqipëri ishte fantastik po, çfarë vendi i bukur! Dhe njerëzit janë vërtet të shkëlqyeshëm!
@@FurtherStories Gëzohem shumë që jeni kënaqur dhe jeni të mirëpritur gjithmonë në shqipëri.🍸
Waw respect from indonesia🇮🇩❤🙏
Thanks my friend! Indonesia is amazing! I hope to shoot some day the video of a hike through Indonesia!!! 🇮🇩
Magnifique épisode :) Comme toujours hein, mais comme je l'avais dit pour celle de votre logbook, on sent bien que ce pays a été particulié pour vous ! Ca donne envie d'y faire un détour, ahhahh ! Bonne continuation et à la prochaine !!
Hahaha merci !! Tu devrais 😁 c'est un pays génial ! C'est quoi les prochaines grandes étapes pour toi ?
@@FurtherStories Au final je suis pas parti sur les Alpes tout de suite après être resté deux semaines chez des Jurassiens qui m'ont convaincu à pas y aller de suite, de manière très objective :P. Et j'ai bien fait, les crêtes étaient ouf. Du coup là après Annecy je rattrape le GR5 par la Tournette et les Aravis, jusqu'à Chamonix. Puis après toutes les alpes françaises jusqu'au sud. Apres Gorge du Verdon, et après, à voir. Mais je pense remonter vers les Cévennes pour y passer quelques temps et un bout de l'hiver. Puis après, on verra. Soit je longe les Pyrénées et je fais moitié/moitié Fr-Esp, soit je passe directe en Esp et pourquoi pas le désert où vous êtes passé (le nom m'échappe là). Vous me le recommandez hein ? Le truc de sur, c'est que je vais passer par la Galice parce que j'y ai vécu un petit temps et j'ai envie d'y retrouver des amis. Apres, ca se décidera en fonction des rencontres, toussatoussa ;) puis d'ici là, y'a le temps d'y penser.
D'ailleurs, j'avais une question : votre itinéraire vous l'aviez tracé avant le départ et vous le suivez depuis, où vous le modifiez régulièrement? J'ai cru entendre à un moment que vous l'aviez fait à partir de vues aériennes? Ca a du être un sacré boulot d'éditer la trace !!
Hey je t'avais répondu mais ma réponse a disparu on dirait... De superbes coins en perspective j'ai l'impression ! Le désert des Bardenas Reales ? Ouiiii il faut y aller ! Le plus grand désert d'Europe, c'est un endroit incroyable :) On avait tracé l'itinéraire avant de partir, essentiellement à partir de cartes, parfois le satellite pour voir à quoi ça ressemblait mais surtout des cartes. On a utilisé l'application Wandermap qui te trace des itinéraires entre deux points en utilisant les plus petits sentiers (en opposition au chemin le plus rapide souvent proposé par les applications gps). Je crois que le site est mort et maintenant on se sert de Komoot dans le meme esprit. Quoi qu'il en soit, l'itinéraire qui était défini, on le change tout le temps !!
The whole idea of your trip is to show only negative side of albania, every country have their own problems,we don't need your pity from you
@@ambheatingplumbing8281 what the hello you mean here I guess all Albanians commenting this video are showing the opposite, please go show your IQ somewhere else! You have no idea how much we love Albanians and how much Albanians love this video. What is negative here but your comment?
A video that deserves billion views 👏👏👏 tremendous !
Thank you so much !!! ❤️ Albania and Albanians are the best! Crossing this country was a fantastic experience
Is one of the greatest documentary I have ever seen
Thank you so much! It is one of the greatest country we've visited :)
Kleine Land mit großen Herz ❤
Yes!! Big big heart!! :)
Bravo super video 👍
Merci beaucoup !!!
Superbe ! Autant les lieux que le montage c'est du joli 😍
Hey merci beaucoup, ça fait plaisir !! On traverse 17 pays d'Europe à pied et pour le moment l'Albanie est vraiment notre plus gros coup de cœur !!
Thanks for showing the world the true face of Albania 🇦🇱 . You haven’t been on all the places that really worth it. If you come once again on future make sure to visit all bcs all cities have their most uniqe places .
Thank you! Our trip isn't about visiting cities and touristic places but to see if the real life of people. Albania has been the most beautiful surprise of this trip, it's a beautiful country with a warm people. Albania will stay in our heart forever !
Bravo super video respect 🇦🇱👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much! Albania is an amazing country!! 😍😍🇦🇱
Mirë që shikon shqpëŕn eshtë e bukurë bravo
Great...bravo for the video and the music....😊😊😊👍👍👍❤❤❤👐👐👐
Thank you very much my friend!!! Have a look at the videos of the other countries of our trip of you want!
Kosova is Albania. Longlife albania / Iliryan country.
The link with the video?
Human Defense blond Kosovo is Serbia! And you are gipsy from Kavkaz.
@@aleksandarmakedonski5740 please you should try to respect eachother. There is no point fighting, you know you should better use your energy to make a better living, fight for environment, for human rights rather than for lands. We will visit Serbia soon and make a video about Serbia too. Serbia once had bigger empire. Like... Portugal, Spain, France, and many other countries. But why claiming on lands we colonized? Let the people live and find a real fight. Maybe ecology sounds right and quite about time. Fighting for such matters just shows the worse from the people and most of all it shows weakness. LOVE EACHOTHER
❤️ Albania
😍🇦🇱 amazing country !!
Thank you for your help with mental lines
Mental lines?
Bella Albania e bukur👍👐

Great video!
Thank you my friend
Bravo pour cette vidéo et votre beau voyage à travers les pays d'Europe !!! Ça donne envie...
En effet, les déchets dans les Balkans sont un fléau... je suis originaire de la Macédoine non loin du parc Mavrovo et ça me bouleverse de voir les choses se dégrader.
Bonne suite.
Oui le Parc Mavrovo nous a brisé le coeur... Quel dommage que de si beaux endroits soient si peu protégés...
Good quality of the video and places that you have visited, much respect
Thank you so much! Are you from Albania ?
