A road that disappeared

Summary

in search of the road over Cakor Pass that leaves Montenegro's Lim valley and heads east to Péc in Kosovo

Suddenly the soul is restless, and, whatever the season, we need to make a journey! As for example to the Prokletije mountains, a wild and rugged region that rises to over two and a half thousand metres in a part of the southern Balkans noted for its unkempt borders. Here, on the shoulder of Mount Deravica, the frontiers of Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo all converge.

It is a region where cartography can delude. Our old map of the area, published in Budapest in 1997, both entertains and deceives. As an instrument for modern navigation it has its shortcomings!
