Mount Korab
North Macedonia's highest peak (2,764 metres) on the border with Albania, and the most challenging climbing target in the national park.
The main summit of Mount Korab, at 2,764 metres, is the highest point of both North Macedonia and Albania. It lies on the northwestern border of Mavrovo National Park. The usual route starts from a camp near Strezimir and takes about 8 to 10 hours round trip, passing alpine meadows, glacial lakes and Korab Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in the Balkans (seasonal). Mountain weather changes quickly, so go between July and September, hire a local guide or join a climbing tour, and carry your passport in case of border police checks.
