User:Sapfan/Mercia Kosovo Tour 2014

By Jan Pešula from Aarhus, Denmark. Written on 5 May 2014.

Denzil Morgan of British tour operator Mercia Charters organized a two-day special train ride in Kosovo on April 25 and 26, 2014.

See the itinerary and pictures of the tour below. Unfortunately, we were not able to ride from Pristina to Podujevo (closed for a long time, unpassable) and from Klina (Metohija) to Xerxe (Zrze) and Prizren (supposedly damaged by a flood just days before our arrival). But anyway, it was well worth it.

All photos can be copied and reused under simple terms (it is enough to mention my name as author). Clicking on any picture will open a page with a higher resolution image, as well as a description (let me know if you notice any error!) and links to further information on Wikipedia.

Me and Bohumil Augusta of KŽC took this as a part of a two-week Balkan tour. If you want to see all of it, then please refer to User:Sapfan/Balkan Train Tour 2014.
