The Forgotten Lives of Europe's Last Nomads

Balkan Detours: The Last Nomads (Season 01, Episode 04) During our journey through the Balkans, we heard stories about small nomadic communities secluded in the rugged mountainous landscapes of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro. These shepherds, the last of their kind, are dwindling in numbers. Like the abandoned sites we usually explore, these people are remnants of a bygone era, seemingly out of place in today's fast-paced world. Our mission was clear: to meet them, explore their traditions, and help preserve their stories before they vanish for good. #urbex #abandonedplaces #bwturbex Special thanks to our guide Dejan, who led us to the most hidden corners of Sutjeska National Park!
