Scenery to fall in love with
Kosovo: Accursed Mountains. Yesterday, we took a drive through the spectacular gorge of the Accursed mountains of Peja. It truly is scenery to fall in love with. The previous day, we walked the 4 km path along the river, past the old Catholic nunnery. In the afternoon, we had lunch at Ujvara e Drinit. It was a wonderful family get-together in another beautiful spot in nature. After lunch, we walked up to a gushing waterfall.
When it comes to natural beauty, Peja wins hands down. I absolutely love the spectacular mountains and the walk along the river past the Catholic nunnery. We also drove through the gorge between the cliffs, where many of the caves are. I hope we will explore and hike here one of these days.
