    The crack in that balcony glass was crazy - can't believe you had the guts to go out on it in that state!!! But the balcony aside the accursed mountains in Kosovo look stunning 😍 The waterfall trail at the end was like the icing on top of the cake - so gorgeous! Also love that you found Simon when he was hitchhiking. Love meeting fellow travellers and having people to share experiences with!! Looking forward to the hike!

      Ha to be honest I didn't see the crack until I was pretty much standing on it. That's when I crossed my fingers! 😂 All good in the end, no idea how it happened though, such a shame. Yes I thought the waterfall at the end was a good end to the day, it sure was a mysterious place hidden away up there - if Simon hadn't of been looking for it I would never have known it was there!

    That edit when driving from slow to fast to zoomed in was incredible. Really interesting location for the mountains. Thanks for showing the map. The view driving through the natural tunnel was so cool! Incredible view at the restaurant and you didn't need to even climb hundreds of steps! How nice to pick up Simon. Great ambience at the waterfall!

      Thanks, it was a very memorable day, certainly one I'll remember for a long time. Glad you liked the edits, thought I'd throw a few into this one 😊.

    Beautiful hike, love the glass bridge over the water and waterfall. I was just at the Grand Canyon but ran out of time to walk on the glass bridge. Also noticed you have good hiking shoes.

    • @MattWhitingsEurope
      @MattWhitingsEurope  Před rokem +1

      I visited that glass bridge at the Grand Canyon about 10 years ago, unfortunately they closed it due to thunderstorms so I didn't get to walk on it either. Made up for it over here in Kosovo!! Yes those hiking shoes have served me well, they're a little bit old now and the treads have worn right down but they're still useful for moderate hiking.

    I always love tiny bridges like in the beginning for some reason. I always feel like when I see one I need to cross it. Makes me feel like Indiana Jones or something 😂 Thanks for sharing this Matt!! Thanks

    Nice video work as expected.👍💯
    I'd say the gentleman in the van was correct about possible homeless encampment for a few at least after seeing it up close. I would wonder how long, or how much of the encampment could last if there was a major snow melt and subsequent high water levels through that portion of the river during the springtime thaw 🤔
    Nice waterfall still shot image 👍
    The overlook of the nightfall city lights from above on the return trip 😎
    If I were able, as far as that particular stretch of roadway, I would find it quite enjoyable to travel via motorbike 🏍

      Thanks T, glad you enjoyed the video. I can see the appeal of riding the route on a motorbike, I'm sure it would be a wonderful experience! Yes the homeless area was surreal, I really felt like I was invading someone's private space - felt really weird! Beautiful area though and a thoroughly enjoyable day!

    Beautiful stream with the waterf and road to drive on with all the mountains looming over you! I like their low profile recreation places. What is the price like to eat out? But, like you I would definitely, hire a car there. Nice of you to pick up a hitch hiker and a bit brave.

      The prices are amazing!! I had a pizza one evening, freshly made and served at a restaurant. Got a drink with it and the bill came to about 5 Euros. Unreal! Yeah I'd passed Simon a few times in my rental car, I'd seen him walking through the canyon - all was good in the end! It was a great day full of surprises.
