Route features
The route climbs and descends 1100 meters. After crossing the ridge, mobile signal disappears completely. The trail is marked, but you must follow the GPS track — the path is faint or missing in several sections. There is no way to exit the trail halfway.
Much of the route is paved with stones — ankle injuries are common, so wear footwear with ankle support.
Blackberry thickets can be bypassed: first left across a field, then right along a low stone wall.
Expect at least 9 hours of hiking; average pace is under 3 km/h. This is the hardest day of Shetalishte.
