Popova Sapka - Tetovo |
Popova Sapka is a part of the mountain-ridge Sar Planina, which is expanding over the whole Polog Valley, where the two big cities, Tetovo and Gostivar, are placed. Popova Sapka is located at 1680m asl. An 18 km long asphalt road is leading you from Tetovo to Popova Sapka skiing center. To the take off, called antenna (antena), you can get by car or you walk for about 30 minutes. The infrastructure of the Polog Valley is ideal for XC flights, because you always fly near to civilization and regional roads. For more experienced it offers also XC flights up to 100 km. The landing area is near the fields of Tetovo at 450m asl. |
