Once the forest is passed, the tour reaches approximately 2.000 masl. At this altitude, evergreens “step floor” to the granite, deep blue skies and chill air. Perfect overviews of Pelagonija and Prespa plains give hikers “support” from behind and peak Pelister strengthens their motivation from above. In this section of the trail, hikers can witness remains of the improvised Austro-Hungarian World War 1 hospitals. After 45 minutes of “stone hiking”, the trail welcomes peak Pelister.
The descent from the peak follows mild and wide trail called “Shiroka” (Wide trail).
