Balkan Rallye 2026

About this event

The Balkan Rallye by Dudes of Dust is an 11-day non-competitive roadbook adventure covering around 2,500 km through the heart of the Balkans. Starting with an overnight ferry from Italy to Greece, the route winds through North Macedonia past Lake Ohrid, into the mountains of Albania, including a spectacular ferry passage through deep gorges, through Montenegro's Durmitor National Park and across Bosnia, finishing on the Croatian coast. Expect winding mountain roads, dusty gravel passes, and visits to surreal lost places from the socialist era, including the abandoned 1984 Winter Olympics venues around Sarajevo. This is not a guided tour: riders travel at their own pace using a printed roadbook with curated off-road routes and easier alternatives, supported by daily checkpoints and a German-speaking team. Open to all motorcycle types across three classes: vintage, classic/custom, and modern.
