A hike from Valbona Valley NP, through Prokletije, Thethi NP to Rikavačko Jezero in Montenegro. This is what I hiked, so it includes all the wrong turns I took AND the struggle to find a decent path to cross the border from Vermosh to Montenegro. On the other hand, it also shows the route from Vermosh to Rikavačko jezero, which I strongly recommand to take!  For stories about my hike, check out my blog EVAdinarica Project.

    Wunderbare Tour, weit aber lohnenswert. Es sind jedoch tatsächlich 1500 hm und nicht 1800 hm.

    Wir haben die Tour im Oktober 2023 gemacht. Wirklich ein unglaublich lohnendes Ziel! Ein paar Updates: die Straße über den Pass ist inzwischen vollständig asphaltiert und problemlos bis Theth zu befahren. Did Höhenmeter Angabe passt nicht so ganz. Von Theth sind es nur etwas über 1400hm - aber ja, es zieht sich ein Wenig…

    Schöne einsame Tour. Es gab noch ein wenig Schnee in sonneabgewandten Hängen, der sich jedoch auch ohne Steigeisen gut gehen ließ.

    Eine Gipfeltour auf den Arapi ist wirklich sehr spannend und extrem lohnend. Allerdings erachte ich eine Gehzeit von „nur“ 8 Stunden ab/bis Thethi (wie heir angegeben) für die meisten Wanderer/Bergsteiger als völlig unrealistisch: Für die gesamte Strecke hin und zurück sind wohl eher 10-11 Stunden erforderlich: Deshalb würde ich dringend empfehlen, ein Allrad-Taxi bis Kroni zu engagieren – zumindest für den Hinweg! (Wir selbst sind auch zurück gerne gefahren.) Aktuell ist auch von den ehemaligen Markierung ab dem Pass Pass Qafa e Pejes nicht mehr viel zu entdecken, die Steinmänner reichen allerdings weiterhin aus, um die (einfachste) Route zu finden. Da der Winter 2020/21 in Nordalbanien sehr schneereich gewesen ist, waren für den Gipfelaufstieg auch Ende Juni 2021 noch mehrere große Schneefelder zu überqueren. Für erfahrene Bergwanderer war dies aber auch ohne Steigeisen durchaus machbar.
