Kosovo, a journey between culture and enchanting landscapes
What strikes you when you first set foot in Kosovo is the omnipresence of mountains and varied natural spaces. And the country does not disappoint. It is no coincidence, although tourism is still in its infancy, that already 10% of the territory has been classified as a national natural park, to which many regional natural parks and protected areas are added. Kosovo thus offers lovers of wide-open spaces and green tourism an extraordinary playground.
Where there is natural space, there is also flora and fauna. Kosovo is home to a large number of wild animal species including bears, wolves, lynxes, and eagles, as well as many mountain plants like edelweiss, pines, and mountain tea.
Limiting oneself to the Nature aspect to describe Kosovo would be very reductive. History has also shaped the country. Strategically located at the confluence of trade routes since ancient times and benefiting from a rich subsoil, Kosovo has been subject to numerous invasions and occupations over the centuries. These have left their marks on the country's built and cultural heritage.
Kosovo is thus the setting for archaeological sites, medieval fortresses, numerous Orthodox monasteries, and a significant number of buildings dating from the Ottoman era such as mosques, hammams, bazaars, and other traditional houses!
Finally, it would be incomplete to mention Kosovo without highlighting the unparalleled hospitality of its inhabitants. This sense of hospitality, drawing from age-old customs, is a true art of living. It is very common to be invited to share a coffee, a rakia, or even a meal... which one cannot refuse without risking offending one's hosts!
Traveler, Kosovo awaits you if you take the time to venture there. Let yourself be carried away by the charms of this endearing little country.
