Titov Vrv
Titov Vrv is the highest peak in the Šar Mountain at 2,748 m. It is located about northwest of the Macedonian city of Tetovo, near the border with Kosovo. The summit was named after former Yugoslav communist leader Josip Broz Tito. Its original name was Голем Турчин/Golem Turčin. In 1934, the peak was renamed Mount Aleksandar after the name of the Yugoslav King Aleksandar, who was assassinated in the same year by a Bulgarian terrorist. During the World War II in Yugoslav Macedonia, the Bulgarian occupier authorities restored its traditional name. After the foundation of Communist Yugoslavia, the peak was renamed in 1953 in accordance with the established cult of personality after Tito. The name has remained unchanged since Macedonian independence in 1991, because the cult status surrounding the benevolent dictator, is still alive there.Activity
Each year on the last weekend of May, mountain club "Ljuboten" organises a climb to this peak.
