Visheshnica Mountain

Visheshnica – part of a larger mountain range that is located right above Lake Tikvesh, and got its name from the rock of the same name that rises above the Polog Monastery.

The main stretching direction is north-south. The mountain is limited by Crna Reka and Lake Tikvesh to the south, the lake continues to the east, and after HEC Tikvesh all the way to the junction of Crna Reka and Raechka Reka. The northern border of Višešnica is downstream of Raechka Reka and Drenovska Klisura, while to the west it borders Tsarevićka Reka and Trojačko Pole. Klen Pass 934 m.a.s.l. is the lowest point between Visheshnica and Dren.

The highest peak is Chave with a height of 1557 meters, which is located on the main ridge that stretches in a south-north direction, starts at the Klen pass 934 m.a.s.l., and goes to the peak Popce 1081 m.a.s.l., continues to Bogdanov Grob 1041 m.a.s.l., along the hill of Smilova Tumba moves along the crest of Srbinovo and reaches the peak of Studeno 1326 m.a.s.l., continues to 1362, then elevation 1442, and climbs to the top of Chave , then it begins to descend all the way to Babakita’s fountain, continues to Kobilarnik 1409 m.a.s.l. descends towards Kriva Tumba 1141 m.a.s.l. from there it goes to Kamen 915 m.a.s.l. and descends into Raechka river. It should be noted that from the top of Chave to the left and right smaller ridges are formed, a total of 4 in number.

The second distinct ridge is the ridge of the Visheshnica rock 1342 m.a.s.l. which starts from Crna Reka, climbs to the Kopriva hill 616 m.a.s.l., then the cliffs named Brshlen 1120 m.a.s.l., after Visheshnica comes Golema Rudina 1403 m.a.s.l., Mala Rudina, Pogana 1353 m.a.s.l. m.n.v. and climbs to Orlite peak 1480 m.a.s.l., opposite to it to the east is Galchin peak 1472 m.a.s.l. These two peaks are often the destination of enthusiasts, whether for mountaineers or for more extreme experiences, because both peaks are steep, especially Orle, which is narrow and not very accessible.

Above the shore of the lake, on the slopes of the mountain, there is also the famous Chulejca cave.
