Via Dinarica White Trail by Marie-Lene

Gorgeous trail, extremenly adventurous and diverse. I did a thru-hike between August and October of 2021 and have shared some insights, experiences and GPS tracks on this page: https://www.balkanize-me.eu/
I had many insecurities when I started and was grateful for other hikers' advice. Feel free to reach out to me - I'm very happy to pay it forward!

Via Dinarica Albania - Bjeshket e Nemuna, Tethe to Valbona by Thibault
November 08, 2022

If you want to make this last stage a bit more challenging while avoiding the 'crowd' (and don't mind going back to Pejës pass, north of Theth), there is an alternative route that goes from Pejës pass to another pass, Lugut Valit (2.310m) and then goes down to Valbonë after joining the 'official' route. Between Pejës and Lugut Valit, the trail is not really well-marked and last section to the pass a bit exposed though.

Via Dinarica Prokletije - Bjeshket e Nemuna via Maja Jezerce to Theth by Thibault

Community
Wonderful Prokletije mountains, what a nice way to end Via Dinarica! I followed Maruša's alternative route and did not hike Maja Jezerces. I was planning to sleep at Zastan Karaula but a couple of shepherds was living there! So I pitched the tent by the water spring a bit above the hut. Hiked Maja Rosit the next day, steep but 'easy' hike with no technical difficulties. The shepherd and another hiker told me about a shortcut from the lakes to Maja Rosit (not on the map) but I could not find the path so had to go down to Zastan Karaula then up to the lakes (where I saw some markings of the shortcut...). Amazing camping spot by the last lake.
