Titov Vrv (Macedonian: Титов Врв, Albanian: Turk i Madh) is the highest peak in the Šar Mountains at 2,748 m (9,016 ft). It is located about 13 mi (21 km) northwest of the North Macedonia's city of Tetovo, near the border with Kosovo.[a] The summit was named after former Yugoslav communist leader Josip Broz Tito. Its original name is Голем Турчин/Golem Turčin ("Big Turk"). In 1934, the peak was renamed Mount Aleksandar after the name of the Yugoslav King Aleksandar, who was assassinated in the same year by a Bulgarian freedom fighter. During the World War II in Yugoslav Macedonia, the Bulgarian authorities restored its traditional name. After the foundation of Communist Yugoslavia, the peak was renamed in 1953 in accordance with the established cult of personality after Tito.

The name has remained unchanged in North Macedonia since Macedonian independence in 1991, because the cult status surrounding the benevolent dictator, is still alive there.[1] However, in many other neighbouring languages such as Turkish, Albanian, and Bulgarian it is still known as the "Big Turk".
Furthermore the smaller neighbouring mountain is universally known including in North Macedonia as "Mal Turčin" meaning the "Small Turk".
Activity
Each year on the last weekend of May, mountain club "Ljuboten" organises a climb to this peak.[2]

Notes
| a. | ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, it is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. |
