Kosovo
This timber panelled mountain lodge sits at the trail head for the hike to the Kuqishta and Drelej lakes and attempts on the summit of Mt Guni i Kuq. The rooms are fairly ho-hum, but there are enormous mountain views from the terraces and there's an atmospheric restaurant (mains €5–6) and a bar with a fireplace.
It's almost right at the end of the road running along the Rugova Valley.
