What great news!

Our hiking trail High Scardus Trail wins one of the most prestigious tourism awards!

At the World Travel Market London (with ITB Berlin the biggest tourism fair in the world) the High Scardus Trail was awarded “Best European Project”! This award is given by the renowned British Guild of Travel Writers.

Trail Angel Lisa Pirkebner represented the development team of the Trail Angels in a worthy manner and together with Ricardo Fahrig (representative of the High Scardus Region) received the award in London.

The High Scardus Trail is a tri-national long distance hiking trail (Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia) in the Western Balkans and is developed by the Trail Angels, together with the GIZ, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, and a regional working group in a business partnership to a lighthouse project for sustainable tourism.

We are really proud of this award and will keep on developing this region to a leading green and sustainable tourism region.
