Peja

Peja (Peć, Pejë) is a city located in the western part of Kosovo , near the border with Montenegro . Its location is incredibly picturesque as it lies at the foot of the Prokletije Mountains , right next to the entrance to the exceptionally beautiful Rugova Canyon .

However, Peja is not only beautiful nature. The city is home to Pećka Patrijaršija, a monastery that is the seat of the patriarchy, which is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List . Peja is also a few other churches , quite a nice center with a bazaar and a small, but quite interesting City Museum. The city can therefore be a good base for mountain hiking, as well as a destination for visiting and learning about the history of Kosovo .
