Abstract
The basis for the development of alternative forms of tourism is founded on the attractions of natural and anthropogenic origin that the landscape contains.
Sharr Mountain is a set of natural rarities and beauties, each of which represents separate rarities.
A significant place in the paper is occupied by the section dealing with the most important characteristics and values that affect the development of alternative forms of tourism such as geographical and tourist position and traffic connection, geomorphological characteristics, climate characteristics, hydrographic characteristics, flora, and fauna, where special emphasis will be placed on the tourist sites of Sharr Mountain such as Brustovec, Leshnica, Popova Sapka, Ljuboten which have greater potential in the development of alternative forms of tourism in Sharr Mountain.
The natural beauties that these tourist sites contain are quite interesting and represent a great tourist offer.
Given the growing involvement of tourists in various alternative tourism activities, it can be seen that this sector of alternative tourism, as part of the tourism industry, is gaining importance.
That is why this issue is being addressed, and the possibilities for the development of alternative forms of tourism in the Southwest region of the Republic of North Macedonia are being explored.
The Popova Shapka site is the only site that has a tourist infrastructure, which from a historical point of view it can be concluded that this site was closer to the road and had the advantage of being the first to develop as a tourist center.
