Description

There is also the possibility to do a round tour, but the official hike is shown here in this GPX file along the path! The climb towards Korab starts in Radomira, a small village located at the foot of the mountain.

The hike leads towards paths and valleys which are constantly invigorated by the waters of the Black Drin River.

The journey to the mountain is several hours long so it requires a good amount of preparation, inclusive of all necessary food and equipment.

Suitable climbing wear and non-slippery shoes are of the utmost importance in order to ensure a safe and enjoyable hike. In Radomira, at the beginning of the hike there is a hotel, which offers good WIFI for you to download a proper hiking map to start the hike.

Tip: also good coffee 😅 At the beginning of the trail to Mount Korab, you will go along the river.

The trails are easy and meadow.

You can choose two ways, the right one which is shorter but you need to ascent faster, or the left one.

After passing along the river you will need to climb two hills, where you can access water sources.

The peak isn’t visible yet.

You can see two small lakes and some mountain huts.

After 7 km, you need to turn to the left.

You can decide to go to the ridge to the left which is way shorter but very steep or going to the “right path” which is easier but longer.

I chose the first one! When you reach the ridge, you will need around 400 meters to hike before reaching the top.

The views from the top are stunning.

To have the perfect view, check out the pictures: The total distance is 16.28 km, and you have a lot of water sources, therefore, 2 Liters of water is enough to take!
