ABOUT THIS HIKE
In December 2021 I camped in the snow for 2 nights in the Accursed Mountains in Montenegro on the border with Albania. Hours away from the closest town, without cell phone reception, without any sounds and at -15°C my coldest 2 nights ever.

A written day-by-day itinerary and all my gear cam be found on:
