Hiking has a long tradition in Slovenia and today it is one of the most popular recreational activities. The mountain world was firstly visited for scientific research in the second half of the 18th century. Then, in 1874, the German Austrian Alpine Association (Der Deutsche und Österreichishe Alpenverein) was founded, which is considered as the first official mountain society in Slovenia. In 1893, "Piparji" were believed to be the first precursors and founders of the Slovenian Mountaineering Society. In other countries of Yugoslavia, hiking is not so developed and it is therefore also difficult to obtain literature on the history of mountaineering in these countries.
Thesis is in monographic form, foreign and domestic literature from the subject area was used. We used a descriptive method of work. Descriptions of access to the highest peak of each country include an explanation of the starting position, the direction of the route, the danger and the recommendations on the route and the duration of the hike. We also described some sights that can be seen on the road.
The following routes are described: Slovenia - Triglav; Croatia - Dinara; Bosnia and Herzegovina - Maglić; Montenegro - Bobotov kuk; Kosovo - Djeravica; Macedonia - Golem Korab; Serbia - Midor. On our way we also visited one of the most beautiful natural and cultural-historical sights such as the Soteska Vintgar in Slovenia, the Krka National Park in Croatia, the Trnovačko Lake in Bosnia, the Zipline near the Đurđević Tara Bridge in Montenegro, the Visoki Dečani Monastery in Kosovo, the National Park Mavrovo in Macedonia and the Museum of Yugoslav History in Serbia.
Although there are many directions to the highest peaks of the countries of former Yugoslavia, these are the most easily accessible and best marked. Since hiking is not so developed in other countries as in Slovenia, the descriptions of the paths are more difficult to obtain or are outdated. That's why we decided to write a quick overview of the paths to the summits and sights.
