Pelister, Mountain summit in Baba massif, North Macedonia
The granite peak reaches 2601 meters in elevation, with steep slopes covered in Molika pine forests on the northern side and cliffs on the east.
The mountain territory received National Park status in 1948, protecting the natural formations and geological features shaped during previous ice ages.
A memorial plate at the summit honors Dimitar Ilievski-Murato, the first Macedonian mountaineer who reached the top of Mount Everest.
Three main hiking routes lead to the summit: from Trnovo village through Kopanki hut, from Nizepole to Golemo Ezero, and from Arvati near Prespa Lake.
Stone rivers flow down the mountainside, created by ancient glacial movements that transported and arranged massive granite blocks across the slopes.
