Majestic Mountains and Viewpoints

This collection spans the diverse terrain of the Jablanica, Galičica, and Karaorman mountain ranges in North Macedonia. It features Magaro, the highest peak of Galičica at 2,255 meters, which provides simultaneous views of Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa. The selection includes high-altitude alpine huts like Ursus Speleos and Gorna Belica, alongside prominent limestone peaks such as Strizhak. These locations offer access to glacial lakes, karst fields, and strategic viewpoints overlooking the region's tectonic lakes and the Jasen Nature Reserve.
