De spectaculaire toppen van Gerbaje

Grebaje Valley is accessible by car from Plav, Gusinje or Vusanje. Whether you choose a circular hike or a cross-border experience, this route offers dramatic ridge walking, unforgettable views, and the unique thrill of hiking between two countries.
One of the most spectacular sections of the Peaks of the Balkans Trail, this panoramic stage offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable ridge-top experience along the border of Montenegro and Albania, offering different options such as walking the classic loop ending in the same country Grebaje Montenegro or crossing the border right from the ridge to Lepushë Albania. The trail begins in the stunning Grebaje Valley, a popular mountain destination surrounded by dramatic limestone peaks. From here, the path heads northwest through peaceful birch and beech forests on the Montenegrin side.
After approximately 2.6 km, you rise above the tree line and continue southwest toward the ridge. As you approach the summit zone, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic—vast alpine landscapes unfold in every direction.
Walk along the spectacular ridge connecting Talijanka Peak/Maja Vajushës (2,057 m) and Popadija Peak (2,030 m)
Standing proudly opposite one another, these two peaks offer a truly unique hiking experience. The trail literally follows the borderline between Montenegro and Albania—once heavily guarded during the Communist era—now open to hikers seeking freedom, adventure, and 360° panoramic views. From Maja Vajushës/Talijanka, the trail descends east toward the col and gently returns to forest terrain, forming a scenic “lollipop” loop that combines ridge walking with woodland tranquillity.
After your hike, unwind in Grebaje Valley’s welcoming guesthouses, chalets, restaurants, and cafés. Enjoy a refreshing drink while taking in the surrounding peaks—an ideal way to end an unforgettable mountain day.
During the high season, the valley is lively, especially with local visitors.
The nearest town is Gusinje, a small but convenient stop offering grocery shops and pharmacies—perfect for stocking up before continuing to the next stage of your adventure.
