Scenic circular route from Velestovo over Tri Mazhi 1629 m
Selected alternatives for you
Beautiful mountain route with great views over Lake Ohrid and the Albanian mountains and the northern North Macedonian mountains. Open savannah-like terrain partially wooded - nice ridge route - pleasant climate. When it is very hot down at the lake, it is about 8 degrees cooler up here. So also a great refuge on warm days. Neither locals nor tourists are seen up here - so a real insider tip.

From Velestovo it goes constantly uphill through open terrain and then small woods to a spring (drinking opportunity). Then continue through open tall grassland to the first point where the hill chain of Galicica National Park appears. The path branches off to the right and becomes rocky after the first ridge. Here it continues to the unmarked summit of Tri Mazhi 1629 m. The path follows the rocky ridge and then descends again through grassland to a junction in a lightly wooded area. The path turns right and follows a terrain hollow under trees for quite a while (approx. 4 km) until Lake Ohrid appears again. A short section on a forest road goes back to the village of Velestovo.
