The Grbaja Valley is one of the most impressive in the Balkans. A 30-minute transfer leads to a narrow valley wedged between the karst towers of Karanfili (2,461 m). It is probably one of the most rugged and dramatic peaks of the Prokletije and a dream of many climbers. A last steep ascent leads up through a shady, fairytale beech forest to the twin peaks of Popadija and Taljanka (2,056 m). The route traverses the narrow ridge to a series of lookout points back onto the shady forest trail where the balloon hike ends. Celebrate the adventure with a cold drink in a beer garden on the valley floor before heading back to the guest house in Vusanje.
