From Bellovishte to Piribeg peak 2524 masl Map

Started from village of Belovishte found on an altitude of 850m and headed toward the very high peak which is known for a cross-boarder pass and a famous peak from Kosovo "Piribreg peak"

Description

From the top you can see a lot of high altitude peaks on the border edge between Kosovo and North Macedonia but also the ski center of Brezovica can be seen from the peak, but the chair lift which takes you to the top doesn't work, so even if you decide to reach the top of the mountain from Brezovica you must hike toward the peak but it is much more easier if you compare it with the trail from our starting point.

The main an most interesting thing hiking this trail from Macedonia is that after a very long lasting hike at the finish line there are some restaurants so you may sit and try some traditional dish and grab some local beers for your joy, if you ask me this was my favorite trail not because it was hard but every time i hiked the trail in the end i finished eating :D
