The Sammiana Trail, officially called the Macedonian Endless Trail, is a long circular route through much of North Macedonia. It is about 2,070 kilometers and takes you through the different landscapes of the country, iconic historic sites, and important landmarks. The route also purposefully avoids towns and villages to give you the most remote experience possible.
North Macedonia is in the heart of the Balkans, with 85% of its land covered in mountains. Perfect for a thru-hike! The trail climbs steep peaks and descends quickly into valleys, a good challenge if you’re an experienced adventurer. The newness of the trail means that there are few other hikers at any one time, promising some quality time with yourself and any hiking partners you bring along. As of 2024, you can hike the eastern route while the western section is still being finished.
