Storms rumble in the north, in the south, west and east. Disturbing rumors have reached the order of Violet cloak, upon which secret gathering is held at hidden Kusije waterfalls, known only to the order itself. To discover the truth behind rumors, members of Violet cloak headed to highest peaks all for sides of former Kingom, from where view stretching far into horizon. To gain speed they've ridden large deers, uncommon for this mountains. 📍Kusije waterfall #accursedmountains #bjeshketenemuna #prokletije #kusije https://www.instagram.com/p/Clra9sWImh_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Peaks of the Balkans - Plav to Vusanje
Plav is a gem of a town in north east Montenegro close to Prokletije National Park, Vusanje is a beautifully situated village at the start of the Ropojane Valley, both wonderful places. The walk between them was less fun though… To start with an exploration of Plav, which I did on a much needed rest day after illness made walking between Kuqishte and Babino Polje an exercise in endurance. Plav…

Prokletije National Park
Saturday 21st October 2023
I’ve been a few days now in the Prokletije National Park, (Bjeshkët e Nemuna in Albanian), a name I prefer, as it means ‘the accursed mountains'. The Albanians are strong with local folklore, and this legend says that the mountains were created by the devil himself, who was unleashed from hell for one single day of mischief.
Mischief maybe, but these days they are a mountaineer’s paradise.
The mountains are scoured by glaciers from the last ice age, the landscape showing the classic signs of a region shaped by ice: glaciated cwms or corries, and broad U-shaped valleys. Glaciation in the Prokletije region occurred at a much lower altitude here than elsewhere in the Balkans, or indeed, the Alps. Experts say that a glacier in the Plav-Gusinje area, the largest in the region, was about 35 kilometres long and 200 metres thick. Above the ice-worn valleys the skyline bristles with jagged limestone crags, the northern slopes of which carry snow well into the summer. The physical character of the terrain is reflected in magnificently named peaks and formations, like Ocnjak ('the fang') and Karanfili ('the carnation').

This morning we headed into the valley and up into one of the corries to get a view of something known as ‘the Hollow Door’ in Montenegro, or ‘prapanicë macesh’ in Albania, which translates literally as the ‘Cat’s Arse’, pictured below, though it is necessary to view from across the border in Albania, to see the likeness of a cat and its rear-end.

Yesterday we did something similar, up into a corrie on the opposite side of the valley to today, but ended up getting lost in the forest as the path we had followed was so overgrown. All ways to get above the valley are steep, and only the main ones are well-trodden.

There are a few other visitors around, with a real international variety. In the one other van parked up here, a motorhome, is a Belgian guy, Vincent, with his small terrier Snoopy, who has been down with some sickness for a day or so. Vincent and I have got on well, eating dinner together last night in the restaurant in the village. He took Snoopy in after his neighbour in the upstairs apartment jumped out of his window and was no more. Vincent is on a year break from work, at 48 years old, trying to make his mind up what to do next in life, after a health scare with his heart. He has been away for almost 3 months, and will be joined by his wife in the next few weeks, but just can’t make up his mind in which direction to head.

Out wandering this morning I met and chatted with people from Serbia, Poland and Austria. But there are only a few other people around, especially as rain was forecast this afternoon, but in the early evening, has yet to arrive.
