Day 5 - Walk from Reke e Allages to Drelaj. Bags travel by car

Walk from Reke e Allages to Drelaj Kosovo

Bags travel by car - July 20

Another day that starts with an ascent, beautiful views towards the valley that we came from.

There is a nice picnic table along the way with a nice sign that was put up by outdoor Kosovo, who apparently also marked the trail for that day.  From here, you can walk to Drelaj (a very short day), or go up to the pass and from there to the peak ( (Mount Hajla), then you come back down and walk to Drelaj.

Note: the trail to the pass is marked but there is no actual path!

The views from the top are very rewarding!

We were met by sudden thunderstorms and hale storm which made us practically run all the way down, back to a nice log house which ( if open), can serve as a nice shelter or coffee stop.

The walk from there to Drelaj goes through the village of Pephi ,it is a pretty comfortable walk with beautiful views and with strawberry "fields" along the way.

Shkiponja guest house is bigger than the ones we visited in the last days . We were happy and surprised to get a double room, but it seemed that one of the family members must have missed his room in the night we spent there...

If you ask the owner, you will hear some very interesting stories about the Serbs-Kosovo war and how it affected the family and the village.
