Vrtop

Vërtop is a summit in North Macedonia, by the border with Kosovo. OpenStreetMap gives its height as 2,555 m; the Copernicus terrain model, 2,551 m. Our route Vërtop (Maja e Korfit) from Struzhë goes to the top. The nearest higher named summit in OpenStreetMap is Konjushka, 9.5 km to the north-east.

About the height

OpenStreetMap: 2,555 m. This is the height a contributor entered for the summit point, often from a map or a guidebook; we do not know its source. Copernicus GLO-30: 2,551 m, the highest 30 m cell of the terrain model within about 45 m of the point. A 30 m model rounds off sharp tops, so on rocky summits it usually reads a little low. Neither figure is a survey.

Here the two agree within 15 m.

73 % of the ground within 500 m of the summit point is steeper than 30° in the terrain model. This describes the terrain, not today’s conditions, and it is not an avalanche rating.

Check conditions before you go
Official travel advice for Kosovo still warns that landmines and unexploded ordnance may remain in isolated forested and mountain areas near the borders. Stay on marked trails and established paths, and do not go alone. Weather in the mountains changes quickly, and a summit on a map says nothing about the path to it. Plan the way up on a current map, leave a trip plan, and turn back if the ground is not what you expected. If you can call, call 112. Traverse describes terrain, not today’s danger.
