We will visit the Megalithic Observatory Kokino, located near the village of Kokino, about 30 km from Kumanovo. Famous for its megalithic structures and ancient observatory site dating back to 1800-1500 BC, Kokino is one of the most important archaeological sites in Macedonia. It is known for its astronomical function, where natural stones were used to measure time and the movement of celestial bodies.
ASNOM Memorial Center - The ASNOM Memorial Center, located near Pelince, is dedicated to the significant events of the anti-fascist struggle and the liberation of Macedonia. It preserves the memory of the First Session of the Anti-Fascist Assembly of the National Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) from 1944, which laid the foundation for the formation of the modern Macedonian state. The centre represents an important symbol of Macedonia's historical and political heritage and is a key tourist destination.
Visit Zebrnjak - A historic hill near Kumanovo, famous for the monument erected in honour of the fallen Serbian soldiers in the Battle of Kumanovo in 1912, a key event in the First Balkan War. The monument, built in 1937, was designed by architects and held great significance for Serbian history. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during World War II. Today, the remains of the monument are in a ruined state.
