    Ich bin diesen Wanderweg Ende März bis zum Grossen See gewandert. Es geht stetig bergauf, aber mit recht angenehmer Steigung. Es gibt zwei Brunnen auf dem Weg, wo man seine Wasserflaschen auffüllen kann. Nach dem zweiten Brunnen war der Weg zunehmend zugeschneit und man lief die zweite Hälfte des Aufstiegs durch den Schnee. Es war machbar, wobei man vor allem gegen Ende des Weges knietief in den Schnee sank. Die Hütte war nicht bewirtschaftet (Sonntag). Das Panorama auf dem Weg ist sehr schön. Der See selbst war zugefroren und zugeschneit. Insgesamt eine durchaus empfehlenswerte Wanderung. Es ist nicht zu unterschätzen, welche Bedingungen in den Bergen trotz der sommerlichen Temperaturen in Bitola herrschen.
