OK, I see a lot of recent interest in hiking, or trekking and last summer I hiked the newly built "Via Dinarica White Trail", starting near Postojna, Slovenia and finishing 52 days later in Valbona, Albania.
It was an awesome trip, through lots of ancient and modern history (wars, communism, etc) with people living the old fashioned way, farming and raising sheep, horses and pigs up in the mountains.
Here are some pictures to whet your appetite.
If there is interest, I can post more
