For adventure seekers, 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. Take-off and landing during your paragliding flight will be smooth, and in addition to the thrills, you will enjoy a fantastic panorama of Prizren.
Via ferrata (€15 per person): You will start a climbing experience in which you will complete a course of a series of steel ropes and stairs while being firmly fixed 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 about 2-3 hours.
Cross magnificent mountain roads and reach Gračanica through the Sharr mountains.
You will continue your journey to the Marble Cave or Gadime Cave. Discover an underground world of stalactites, stalagmites and aragonites that will take your breath away, 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.
