Titov Vrv

Titov Vrv is the highest peak in the Šar Mountains at 2,748 m. It is located about 13 mi northwest of the North Macedonia's city of Tetovo, near the border with Kosovo. The summit was named after former Yugoslav communist leader Josip Broz Tito. Its original name was Голем Турчин/Golem Turčin. In 1934, the peak was renamed Mount Aleksandar after the name of the Yugoslav King Aleksandar, who was assassinated in the same year by a Bulgarian freedom fighter. During the World War II in Yugoslav Macedonia, the Bulgarian authorities restored its traditional name. After the foundation of Communist Yugoslavia, the peak was renamed in 1953 in accordance with the established cult of personality after Tito. ()
