Departure date would be Thursday, 16 September morning and return Monday, 20 September evening. On request of most going, plan can change.
Thursday morning we leave Slovenia (we'll arrange pickup along the way) and after 10-11 hours arrive in Mavrovo.
A Slovenian hiker who was recently on Golem Korab contacted me and gave info he slept in
private pension at the cable car in Mavrovo, Caffe Restaurant Campari, Goran Manojlovski, 042 / 388 109 or GSM 070 / 251 005.
Price very low; he mentions 8 EUR per night. I'll call the pension later.
Friday morning drive to base of Golem Korab and then about 5 hours hike to summit and 4 back.
We'll hike as fast as the slowest can manage.
After mountain direct to Ohrid.
In Ohrid I'll find hotel, motel or better apartment to sleep.
When I know exact number, I'll start looking for accommodation.
Evening short Ohrid tour and sleep.
Saturday morning coffee in Ohrid, breakfast then slowly to Greece. Plan 3-4 hours drive to LITOCHORO, closest town
to our start. From there by car to PRIONIA start (attached photo of sign from 2002).
Then on foot to hut that can host 100 hikers. Trail about 3 hours. Here first-hand info from Greek hiker:

Sunday morning to summit, about 3 hours hike. Then back to start and options:
a.) to LITOCHORO (18 km from PRIONIA), seaside tourist town, rent apartment or hotel, swimming, beer,
b.) back to MK to OHRID or SKOPJE (save money as MK cheaper than GR)
c.) back to SLO, rotating driving as we'll all be tired
Contact your friends, acquaintances and colleagues if anyone wants to join. I think we'll have more fun with 7-8 in
van than just 4 in car. Especially drive will be more interesting and pass quicker.
