Stop At: White Drin Waterfall, Žljeb Mountain, Pec Kosovo

Surrounded by the Alps, Peja, one of the largest cities of the plain of Dukagjin, is a charming place. The stores,

Haxhi Zeka and the Begolli House, embellish the promenade in the city center.

Stop At: Patriarchate of Pec, Pec Kosovo

The Patriarchate of Peja, considered as the spiritual seat of the Orthodox Serbs, was built in the 13th century

grandiose frescoes, some of which date back to the 14th century adorn the walls of the three

churches and chapel, all connected by a single narthex. Some experts believe that the church was

built on the foundations of an older Catholic church, whose ruins are still visible

in the courtyard of the complex.
