For sure, the entire High Scardus Trail is beautiful in its whole diversity. But not everybody has the time or wants to hike 20 stages in a row. This package picks out two absolute highlights of the trail – the pastures & mountains of the Albanian part of Korab mountains as a symbol for traditional shepherd culture. And the beautiful mountain ridge of the Galichica National Park between Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa with stunning views to them. In addition, you will have the opportunity - as the icing on the cake, so to speak - to visit the old town of Ohrid (UNESCO World Heritage Site) as well as Tirana, the pulsating centre of Albania.
