Titov Vrv (2747 m), is also known as Turchin or Shar and is one of the most beautiful and also the highest peak of the Shar Mountain and the second highest in the Republic of Macedonia. It is built of Mesozoic limestones, quite cracked and exposed. Otherwise, it has a pyramidal shape. Around the very top, due to the severe frost damage, stone rivers and sluices appear. Northwest of the peak is the source of the river Pena, towards which a beautiful view stretches, and to the south there are several glacial lakes, the most interesting of which are Beloto and Bogovinsko.
Titov vrv, which is located on the Shar Planina massif, can be reached via Tetovo to Popova Shapka, on an asphalt road, by vehicle or by organized, combi-taxi from Tetovo. There is no regular bus line, and the cable car is not working either. Popova Shapka is 20 km away from Tetovo.
