1.The eyes of Shar Mountain and Ljuboten peak

A great idea for people who love hiking, is to start from Gostivar and make a productive hike to the Ljuboten peak. The mountain peak Ljuboten is a typical limestone peak with significant limestone screes and stony sites, which provide for the development of specific vegetation. Throught the forest you will get to the Ljuboten hut. Continuing sharply uphill, you will stop at the saddle on the top or the so called “Ljubotenska Shija”.

On the way to get there and at the top you will experience the best panoramic views of River Vratnichka Falls and Ljuboten peak, Pollog valley, ridge of Shar Mountain with Lake Livadichko and Sirinichka area in Kosovo (Brezovica and Shtrpce).

Worth it!
