ITM, Western Balkans kart
Ordinær pris 219,00 krThe region stretching from Trieste to Sophia that used to be known as Yugoslavia is now called the Western Balkans, consisting of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia, and parts of Albania, Hungary, and Bulgaria. Slovenia and Croatia are now part of the EU, and the other countries are aspiring to join. As a result, the region is becoming a popular touristic destination, easy to reach from Italy or Austria. Side 1 fronts on to the Adriatic Sea, showing the many ferry routes to Italy, the coastal motorway to Greece, and cities such as Ljubljana, Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik. Side 2 concentrates on the mountainous interior, essentially from Lake Balaton south to the Greek border and Thessalonica. This is a developing part of Europe, with names like Belgrade, Sarajevo, Pristina, Podgorica, Tirana, and Skopje, that are exotic and different, and therefore exciting to visit.
Kosovo & Western Balkans
Ordinær pris 199,00 krKosovo is the country that shouldn't exist, but does. When Yugoslavia fell to pieces after Tito died, Kosovo was lumped in with Serbia but was very unhappy with being a part of an Eastern Orthodox regime. It broke away, resulting in genocidal fighting until the Americans stepped in and stopped the fighting. The region was then placed under a European Union control in the faint hope that it would merge with Albania, or Montenegro, but it didn't. Relations with Serbia are still quite strained, but Kosovo is still surviving as a mountainous Balkan state. Fought over for centuries by Turks and Serbs, Kosovo is emerging as a small but touristic European country. This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path travel destination!
The second side of the sheet provides an excellent regional coverage for the Western Balkans, essentially Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, and reasonably large tracks of land for Hungary, Albania, and North Macedonia, showing the growing number of wilderness parks being created.
