The line only, with no map underneath: we draw nothing on this page that is not our own route data. To see it on 3D terrain, open it on the map.

How we got the numbers

Distance and climb come from the line itself: heights from the Copernicus GLO-30 elevation model (30 m), sampled every 30 m and smoothed with a running median of five samples, because in forest the model measures the top of the trees, and climbing counted once the height has changed by 3 m. These are the figures the app shows. Expect them to differ from a GPS track by 10 % or so.

Walking time follows the DIN 33466 rule used by the German and Austrian alpine clubs, without breaks. Difficulty comes from the whole outing (there and back): the climb and that time, one level up when 30 % or more of the line is on slopes over 30°.

4 % of the line itself runs on slopes over 30° in the elevation model; slopes above it are not counted. This describes the terrain, not today’s conditions, and it is not an avalanche rating.

Check conditions before you go
Official travel advice for Kosovo still warns that landmines and unexploded ordnance may remain in isolated forested and mountain areas near the borders. Stay on marked trails and established paths, and do not go alone. Weather in the mountains changes quickly. Carry the route offline, leave a trip plan, and turn back if the path on the ground is not what you expected. If you can call, call 112. Traverse describes terrain, not today’s danger.
