While mostly known for its glorious beaches on the Adriatic Sea and gorgeous historic coastal cities, the Balkans also happens to be a paradise for adventure enthusiasts and backpackers. Mountains, rivers, and forests are always just a short drive away. In fact, the word “Balkan” itself means “mountain” in Bulgarian and “chain of wooded mountains” in Turkish—a testimony to the region’s rugged landscapes.

If, however, you are specifically looking for an outdoorsy vacation destination, you should pick up your best backpack, strap on your comfiest travel shoes and check out the best-hiking destinations in the Balkans below.
