Itinerary
-

Meet in Gusinje and drive to the trailhead beneath the Karanfili walls.
-

A steady 2.5–3 hour ascent through beech forest and alpine meadows.
-

Ridge & return
Summit photos along the ridge (optional Taljanka extension), then descend for a valley refreshment.
The Volušnica ridge delivers the single most famous view in Prokletije National Park: the jagged Karanfili peaks rising like a stone cathedral over the Grebaje valley. A licensed mountain guide leads this 7-hour day hike from Gusinje — steady climbing, big pay-off, park fee included. Expect a steady 2.5–3 hour ascent — honest hill walking rather than scrambling, with the park fee and a trail snack included. Hikers who like their views earned and their trails empty will be in their element; pack boots, layers and at least a litre and a half of water.
