Popova Shapka – Gorna Leshnica – Leshnica

This is a marked, medium hard and the most vivid trail on Shar Planina. It starts from the informative board set in the center of Popova Shapka. It passes above the MH Jelak, leading to the sheepfold Ceripashinsko Bachilo. From there it continues to Plat and descends towards Gorna Leshnica. The view along the entire trail makes it the most vivid trail on Shar Planina. After reaching Plat, Vardarishte, Jelachki Crn Vrv and Kobilica are left behind, and the profile of Titov Vrv, Sredna Leshnichka Karpa, Gorna Leshnica with the waterfall Gornoleshnichki vodopad emerge in front. After descending Gorna Leshnica, the trail leads to the great so called Gornoleshnichki canyon, which passes through Plat (first Leshnichka Karpa) and finishes at Leshnica.
