"Macedonia/Albania. Drove up day before. A ranger at Mavrovo Lake said the road was Ok, if no 4x4, just drive slow. Had to avoid lots of holes and big rocks. Slept in big tent on good camping patch found left after a bridge just before first sign to Mount Korab. Walked the dirt road up to police station. Some people camped there but no officer to be seen. Went up through forest and passed a German father and son. Came to a sheep shepherd. Asked if we wanted coffee. We're fine. Hard climb up after on the hills. Turned right higher up and got amazing views on chain of rugged peaks on the left. The son passed us. No sign of the father. Kept following the mountain side. Saw Korab in the distance. Last hike up was not technical. The Macedonian side is a lot prettier then the Albanian. Denar and Lek coins were left on the monument for luck. Cold wind. Ate some tasty, salty peanuts. Took same route back. Hot in the afternoon soon. Drove on same day to Albania where we found a lovely hotel with friendly host." — Pieter • Aug 23, 2018
