Love how friendly the people are! You were brave for going up the spiral staircase - I wouldn't have had the guts! It's been lovely seeing the countryside, but very much looking forward to seeing Pristina!
You're so brave for visiting those abandoned houses, the trees growing inside them it gives a mysterious appearance, who knows to whom those houses belonged to, and for how many time they've been abandoned.
It was a surreal experience for sure. I was literally just driving past them and they caught my eye, looked so fascinating I just had to stop for a look around. I often wonder what the story was and what happened there. Looked like a village still trying to recover from war.
@@MattWhitingsEurope Yes indeed, in some cases it is said that those houses were abandoned due to the mass m*rders committed by the Serbs back in 90s, and the people left their houses and never return. In Kosovo there are many lost people who have not been found even today, also many mass graves of Kosovo's people have been discovered in Serbia which denies it crimes.
Every day you find friendly locals who are open to chat. It's so great to see. The full tree growing from the staircase really dates it. The car isn't sounding any better! Should have taken a snow plow to finish your journey. You for sure have sold us in visiting the mountains of Kosovo. What a cool story. Good thing you missed the bus. Great video!
You're right about the bus, it may have cost a bit more but it led to an unforgettable experience! I'd love to return someday in the winter to see the place in ski season, I bet it looks incredible in the snow.
Me too! I bet they would have some stories to tell. Interesting to walk around this site, I wasn't expecting to be able to get inside so that was a bonus.
Yes I really would have loved to go up but the weather wasn't great and time was getting on. I hope to return at some point and spend a bit more time in the area, it's a magnificent part of Europe!
next time you visit Kosovo worth visiting Decan mounting and more of Peja mounting, not many turist go there, only some crazy guys from UK Canada and EU with bikes or 4x4, last year some guys from Red Bull were there filming
@@MattWhitingsEurope I agree. Sometimes I wish my family stayed there, but they were forced to leave. They would've been killed or kidnapped by the Albanians.
