This stage of the Via Dinarica Kosovo running along the Kosovo-Montenegro border, offers a harmonious blend of panoramic beauty and adventure. This stage of the trail spans 11.2 km, and traverses gently rolling terrain, passing through expansive pastures and rocky landscapes with a gradual yet moderate ascent.

The stage begins near the Shtedim shepherd huts and winds through wide grazing fields and sparse shrubbery, ascending gradually towards the majestic Hajla Peak. In its initial stretch, the trail weaves through a mix of pastures and forests, offering resting points and captivating views of Hajla and the surrounding landscapes of Montenegro.

A recommended left deviation offers an easier and more defined path toward the Lower Hajla Pass. Standing at 2,403 meters, Hajla Peak is one of the most prominent summits of the Bjeshkët e Nemuna range, located along the Kosovo-Montenegro border. Hajla also features smaller peaks, such as Hajla e Shkrelit and Hajla e Pepiqit, which draw many hikers and nature enthusiasts.

The final ascent through rocky terrain rewards hikers with breathtaking views of the Rugova Mountains and cliffs adorned with alpine vegetation.

Upon reaching the ERA Lodge, hikers are warmly welcomed by its charismatic owner in a cozy atmosphere that perfectly blends comfort with natural beauty.
