Klikach (1,383 m) is a peak in the Vlahina mountain, in the south-western part of the Leshtanska Planina ridge, close to the border with North Macedonia.
The peak lies west of the village of Gorno Leshko (17 km from Blagoevgrad). Below it are the Logodazh reservoir and Blagoevgrad, and Kadiitsa (Ogreyak), the highest peak of Vlahina, is in view nearby.
The route from Gorno Leshko is about 5.3 km one way, with about 700 m of climbing, and takes about 2–2.5 hours. There are no waymarks except one sign in the upper hamlet of Prikrat. It follows mostly dirt tracks across open ground, with a steeper last 500–600 m; the path on the right to the final climb is easy to miss. Water is only in the village, at the fountain by the T-junction. In clear weather the summit looks over more than ten mountains, from Vitosha through Rila and Pirin to Slavyanka.
Leave the car on the asphalt area by the T-junction in Gorno Leshko.

Hiking boots, layered clothing, water (1.5–2 L per person), sun protection, and a windproof jacket — mountain weather changes quickly. For longer routes also bring a map (paper or offline), a head torch, and emergency rations. Tell someone your planned route and expected return time.
