Day Trip Destinations in Macedonia You Might Not Have Heard Of

Many of Our Active Tourists, Who Search Daily on the 'Kajak.mk' Platform, Are Looking for Suggestions for Day Trip Destinations in Macedonia to Visit During the Easter Holidays. In Anticipation of the Weekend, the Kajak.mk Team Shares a Few Destinations in Macedonia That You May Be Hearing About for the First Time, but Are Definitely Worth Exploring and Visiting.

Before We Share Our Suggestions, Our Team, in Collaboration with SКОПСКО, Advises You to Keep All of Macedonia’s Natural Beauties Clean! Please Avoid Throwing Trash in Nature, and We Encourage You to Take Your Waste Back with You and Dispose of It in Urban Bins Instead of Mountain Waste Bins, as Mountain and Day Trip Locations Are Less Frequently Cleaned.

Our First Suggestion: The ‘Waterfalls of Kamenjane’

Visit the Waterfalls of Kamenjane, as well as the Beautiful Village of Jelovjane. This Excellent Hiking Spot Features Informational Signs and Markers Leading You Through the Beech Forest. You Will Encounter Eight Waterfalls, Each With Its Own Unique Beauty. Right Before the First Waterfall, You’ll Find an Old Watermill Where the Locals Used to Grind Grain, and Shortly After, You’ll Come Across Stairs That Make It Easier to Navigate the River. Along the River, You’ll Discover Many Wooden Bridges, Beautiful Views, and Hidden Spots That Will Make You Want to Stay All Day.

Our Second Suggestion: The Village of Kuratica!

A Unique Village Where You’ll Meet Extraordinary Locals. This Destination Is Perfect for Those Spending the Extended Weekend in Ohrid. It’s Just About a 30-Minute Drive from the City to Kuratica.

Kuratica is Ideal for People Who Enjoy Active Tourism Combined with Delicious, Healthy Local Food. In the Village, You’ll Meet Many Locals Who Organize Various Nature Walks to Mazatar, Where You Can Enjoy Views of Both Lake Prespa and Lake Ohrid at the Same Time. You’ll Also Have the Opportunity to Ride ATVs, Pet Donkeys, and Visit Plaćenska Mountain, Home to Stalev Stone, Which Stands at an Impressive 1999 Meters Above Sea Level.

Our Third Suggestion: ‘Stanečki Waterfall’

We’re Moving From Western Macedonia to the Region of Kriva Palanka, Where We Recommend the ‘Stanečki Waterfall’ as a Destination. This Waterfall Is Located on Kozja River, Near the Village of Stanci, Just 8 Kilometers from Kriva Palanka.

The Road to the Village Is Paved, and From There, You Continue on a Trail That Passes Through Beautiful Nature, Stretching for 3 Kilometers. At the End of the Trail, You’ll Be Greeted by the Stunning Stanečki Waterfall, Which Stands at an Altitude of 1160 Meters and Flows Year-Round. The Waterfall Is 11 Meters Tall and Is the Largest Waterfall in the Osogovo Mountains.

Have You Heard of the ‘Krivoshijskie Cadi’?

Lovers of Shar Mountain Know That Leshnica Shines Like a Diamond on This Mountain Range. Full of Clear Mountain Rivers, Waterfalls, Dense Pine and Beech Forests, and Countless Rocky Peaks, This Is How Many Describe Leshnica, the Valley That Hides the Krivoshijskie Cadi. The Kajak.mk Team Recommends This Destination to All Active Athletes and People Who Enjoy Dynamic Nature Walks. To Reach Leshnica, You Must Pass Through the Characteristic Landscapes of Shar, Featuring Expansive Pastures and Peaks Reaching Up to 2000 Meters Above Sea Level.

Ideal Day Trip Destination for Those Who Aren't Very Physically Active: The Village of Sermenin on Mount Kozuf

This Village Has Won the Hearts of Adventurers Thanks to the Story of the ‘Vera Waterfall,’ Shared by Ratka and Her Husband Venci. The Vera Waterfall Is a Story Written by Ratka and Venci, Who Took the Initiative to Clean a Wild Local Dump and Transform the Area Into an Eco-Friendly Day Trip Spot, Which Is Now Frequently Visited by Locals. Unfortunately, There Are Still Irresponsible Tourists Who Throw Trash Around the Waterfall, But We Hope Over Time Everyone Will Realize That We Only Have One Planet. Besides the Waterfall, the Village Offers Dining Establishments Serving Delicious Local Specialties.

The Kajak.mk Team and ‘SKOPSKO’ Advise You to Care for the Environment. No Matter Which Destination You Choose, It’s Your Responsibility to Collect Trash and Dispose of It in Urban Bins. The Wild Dumps That Have Emerged Across Our Country Are the Result of Irresponsible Citizens. That’s Why ‘SKOPSKO’ Launched Its Campaign, ‘Our Pride, Our Responsibility.’ The Campaign Aims to Raise Environmental Awareness Among Citizens Traveling Within the Country. SKOPSKO Will Contribute One Denar from Each ‘Skopsko 0.5’ and ‘Skopsko Smooth 0.5’ Bottle Sold in Glass Packaging Towards Environmental Cleanup Actions Across Various Locations Nationwide, Starting with the Ohrid Lake Area.
