Initially, we had planned to spend three nights in Peja. The city where Kosovo’s most popular beer has been brewed since 1971. However, we ended up extending our stay to four nights, not for a brewery tour as we’d half‑joked, but to unwind and soak up the surrounding nature with long walks and slow mornings.
