Day-by-day itinerary
Paris, France - Pristina, Kosovo

On the way to Novo Brdo Fortress located on the heights of a plateau offering a splendid panoramic view of the region.
Begin a hiking trip of approximately 4 hours to Kukaj, a small village rebuilt according to its original design located in the mountains, a restful and exotic place.
Enjoy a traditional Albanian meal such as Flija (a pie made up of several layers of crepes covered with cream).
Kukaj - Janjevo - Prizren, Kosovo
After your breakfast, head to Janjevo, an abandoned Croatian village.
Embark on a visit that will retrace the history of the Croatian community that settled in Janjevo in the 14th century. An important economic hub for Croats who worked alongside Saxons in the Novo Brdo and Kopaonik mines.
You will continue your journey to the Marble Cave or Gadime Cave. Discover an underground world of breathtaking stalactites, stalagmites and aragonites that formed over 200 million years ago. Blue, red, white and yellow elements abound along the ceilings, walls and floors of the cave, offering an extraordinary experience.
Head towards Prizren through the Sharr mountains. Possibility of making a stop in a village for a tasting of Sharr cheese (subject to availability).
Visit Prizren, cultural and historical capital of Kosovo. Surrounded by mountainous landscapes, discover the old Ottoman center of the city where the Lumbardhi river flows.
Check-in at your hotel.
Prizren, Kosovo
After breakfast, we offer three options during the day: For adventurers, we invite you to try paragliding or via ferrata (you can do both activities on the same day). For those who prefer not to do these activities, we invite you to relax in Prizren.
Paragliding (€70 per person): A baptism flight takes place in complete safety with an expert instructor to whom you will be securely attached. The takeoff and landing during your paragliding flight will be smooth, and in addition to the sensations, you will be able to enjoy a fantastic panorama of Prizren.
Via ferrata (€15 per person): You will begin a climbing experience in which you will complete a course of a series of steel ropes and stairs while being firmly secured to the rock. Built with the support of Italian experts using cutting-edge techniques and equipment, the Via Ferrata is as safe as it is memorable. The via ferrata generally goes up and down in approximately 2-3 hours.
Prizren – White Drin Kayaking – Mirusha Waterfalls – Peja, Kosovo
After breakfast, head to Ura e Shenjte to paddle on the White Drin river, one of Kosovo's last natural rivers.
Short stop at Velika Hoca, a picturesque Serbian village, perfect for a wine tasting.
Head towards the Mirusha Waterfalls and start a two-hour hike to reach them.
Then drop off your luggage at the hotel and enjoy your hotel's Spa.
Peja – Rugova Gorges, Kosovo
After breakfast, we offer three options during the morning:
Horse riding: Start a horse ride above the Rugova Gorges where you will enjoy the freshness and beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Tree top adventure park: Come discover the Acrobatic Park and spend a memorable moment there with family or friends.
Giant swing: Also called Swing, the giant swing at Peja Ranch offers you a unique free-fall experience.

Lunch by the lake « Liqeni i Drelajve ».
You will take the return path in the middle of the afternoon and you will return to the Eco hotel Magra Austria.
Rugova Gorge - Mitrovica - Pristina, Kosovo
After breakfast, you will head towards Mitrovica, passing by the Gazivode Lake which stretches over 24 km in length between Kosovo and Serbia. Located at 690 m altitude, at the foot of the Mokra Gora massif, it offers magnificent landscapes and corners of nature that are all the more preserved as human settlements are very rare here.
After lunch, a short tour of the most divided city in the Balkans! Since 1999, the Ibar river has served as a border between the small North Mitrovica, predominantly Serbian, and the large South Mitrovica, essentially populated by Albanians. For its benefit and misfortune, Mitrovica is situated right next to the largest lignite deposit in the Balkans, the Trepča mines.
You will then head to the most famous restaurant in Kosovo "Molla E Eger".
Lost in the middle of a postcard landscape, you will enjoy a dinner in an ecological restaurant where all the products consumed come from the restaurant and local families located in the surrounding area.
