After breakfast, depending on accommodation location, transfer to Popova Šapka (1,780 m) and preparation for the ascent to Titov Vrv (2,747 m), the highest peak of Šar Mountain. The route follows the ridge over several peaks above 2,000 meters, including Anteni (2,531 m), Sin Vrv (2,550 m), Karabunar (2,600 m), and Bakardan (2,700 m), with constantly open views of the Šar Mountain massif, Kosovo and Metohija, and western North Macedonia. The ascent is technically simple but physically demanding and suitable for hikers with good fitness. Reaching the peak takes approximately 4–5 hours, depending on group pace and weather conditions. If the group is ready, an optional ascent to Mal Turčin (2,702 m) is possible. After a break at the summit, return via the same route or, depending on conditions and group readiness, via a summer circular path. Upon completion, return to Tetovo for dinner and a short break for coffee. Return to Niš via Skopje. Arrival in the late evening. End of program.
