Wild mountain scenery with a diversity of breathtaking landscapes, varying from green valleys to crystal clear mountain lakes, waterfalls, rivers and remote picturesque mountain villages, in which time seems to have stopped. All in all a hidden treasure for nature lovers and hikers.

The hike can last from 7 to 12 days, depending of the motivation and condition of the hiker.
The level of difficulty ranges from easy to moderate, but requires good physical condition and mountain equipment.Many unpaved forestry roads were incorporated as a compromise solution when the countries demanded same shares of the route, those can be replace with more scenic hiking routes and skipped or shortened with short transfers.
