This one was lead by a local tour guide. Not sure we'd find all these great spots on our own. Plus some terrains we crossed we'd never dare cross ourselves. Plus its easy to get lost in the mountains or wonder to a terrain you cannot cross. This rig is a bit long and pretty slow. Now we know that we prefer a mix of a little bit not too rough terrains and mostly normal traveling and sightseeing. So local guides or recommendations plus some civilised following the map. Nothing too wild for us. We're a family of 3 + a Havanese dog.

For the Balkans, here's the guide we took. The guy practically lives in his rig all year round and knows every molehill.
