Because of its attractiveness and size, this piece of nature is recognised as one of the Natural Parks of North Macedonia. The peak of the mountain, which is called Magaro, has a stunning altitude of 2254m.After arriving at the starting point, the hike starts through the forest flanks of the Galica mountains. You will experience the flora and fauna of this place accompanied by a mountain expert. During the walk, there are many opportunities to admire the amazing view over Lake Ohrid, which at that moment, lies 500 meters below. The hike continues along 3 traditional mountain villages, where you will learn the stories about the survival of the inhabitants during the harshness of the cold winter.After a walk of approximately 2 hours and crossing 3km, you will be rewarded with a tasty lunch on the beach, which is only accessible by boat.

Great guide and very engaging. Bitterly disappointed that tour finished an hour earlier than planned (back at hotel for 3pm) and in rush to get on boat I lost my ear phones as thought I had more leisure time.

Very interesting walk between villages high up on the mountain. The guide knew the local area well, showed several local herbs Not a taxing walk and the more elderly participants had no trouble. The trip included the bay of bones museum stop on the way to lunch after the walk, which doesnt need seperate trip. The lunch was very good. Due to high winds & rain we finished early without beach, this beyond guides control so check forecast if beach time important to you as part of excursion.

The walk was about the correct distance for a hot morning. The views were lovely. We had lunch included but the menu could have more items for vegetarians. We had over an hour at the beach before the boat back maybe a little long.

Geen airco in de bus bij meer dan 30 graden. Weinig plaats aan tafel. Geen vermelding dat zwemkledij en/of boek je wel kon gebruiken bij laatste stopplaats. We zagen maar 1 echt oud Macedonisch dorpje. Jammer.

Je moet deze wandeling niet op slippers of simpele sneakers doen. Wandelschoenen zijn aan te bevelen omdat de wandeling ook over minder goede paden gaat. Had meer wandeling verwacht en minder bus zitten ??
