I'm staying in Popova Šapka 1800m, ski resort village at Šar mountain 2800m, presently almost empty (I like it). I planned this ride in the way to visit different sides of the mountain, which as you can see from the pictures are different. North side, where ski runs are is bare and southwest side is forested.
Paths are mostly on rocky side with sections that are completely destroyed by the ATV quad riders (my favorit kind of people 😠). If you encounter some, stop the way that wind blows dust away from you and face the oposit way as they don't slow down and you can get rock in the face.
There are many wild blueberries pickers that you can buy some from or you can pick your own.
I visited sheep farm and cheese manufacturing place. They treated me with brunch made from local products: cheese, bread from brick oven and yogurt.
Three of them handle, all manually, 2000 sheeps. Hurd, milk and make cheese. Unbelievable.
Water springs are everywhere and safe for drinking. Big difference from the previous place where I rode.
Scenery is mesmerizing so forgive me for taking so many pictures.
That garbage dump made me cry. Whole village just dumps everything of the cliff. We people are real peace of work.
Stay safe and happy pedaling.
