Direction the Shar Mountains. On their ways, the drive will stop to visit the Monastery of Gračanica.

During the Ottoman Empire it became a very important cultural center. After the Kosovo war, the Archbishop of the Orthodox Church in Kosovo will transfer his offices there, making Gračanica a place of spiritual importance for the Kosovo Serb community.
4 days of hiking in the heart of the Shar Mountains on unknown High Scardus routes. Shar means colorful. The road will meander through the sandstones of the valleys and open onto landscapes that are more beautiful than the others. The permanent colors of the vegetation, the changing light, the lack of housing, the diverse landscapes, give the impression of travelling in another universe. Stop at Prevala.
