What to expect

The aesthetic mountain of Galica functions as a separator that divides the 2 lakes of Ohrid and Prespa. 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. So, bring some swimming clothes and towels!
