Itinerary description

[Spanish]
Esta ruta para subir al Korab comienza en un puesto fronterizo que parece ya no está en uso. Para llegar hasta este punto tenemos que conducir unos 13 kilómetros por un camino de gravilla y piedras que no está en muy buen estado. De hecho nosotros dejamos el coche una curva antes de llegar porque consideramos que el estado de la ultima recta era ya demasiado malo. Luego vimos que no estaba peor que otras partes anteriores del camino.
En el puesto fronterizo nos encontramos con varios coches aparcados de otra gente que ha venido a subir la montaña.

El camino para subir a la cima del Korab es sencillo y está bien indicado. Lo que si es una ruta bien larga, tenemos que andar bastante hasta que por fin tenemos la montaña a la vista y la bandera de la cima solo la veremos cuando ya hayamos casi llegado.

Disfruta de las vistas y de la tranquilidad que se respira en este lugar.

[English]
This track starts in an old border control that doesn't seem to be in use anymore. In order to get to this point we need to drive around 13 kilometres on a gravel (and stones) road that is in pretty bad condition. In fact we left the car just before arriving to the border control house because we thought the last bit was too much for our car. Later we realized it was not worse than some other previous sections of the road.
When we get to the border control we see that there are other cars parked there from other hikers.

This is a fairly easy route and it is also well-marked all along the way. Just mention that it is a fairly long track. We have to walk quite a bit before we have Mount Korab in our sight and we won't see the flag in the summit until we have almost arrived at the top.

Enjoy the views and the peace of this place.
