Discover the Perfect Forest Lodge for Your Upcoming Getaways

Discover the Perfect Forest Lodge for Your Upcoming Getaways

The Kajak.mk team interviewed the organizers of the "Chicko Boro" forest lodge, located in Mala Reka on the Kitka River, who have been providing a unique and active vacation experience for their guests for years.

The scout lodge "Čičko Boro" is the perfect place to stay during rainy days, surrounded by dense forests and lush greenery. Imagine sipping your coffee while listening to the soothing sound of the rain. 

Located 35 kilometers from the center of Skopje, the lodge sits on Mount Kitka at an altitude of 950 meters above sea level. The area is rich in natural beauty, featuring many hiking and mountain biking trails along Mala Reka, which is a tributary of the Kadina River.


The scout lodge can accommodate 25 to 30 people in two rooms with bunk beds, a shared bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen with cutlery and cooking utensils, and a living area. The lodge is heated by a wood-burning stove. The most beautiful part of staying at the Forest Lodge is the 1800 m² yard where adventure equipment such as a zip line, trampoline, slackline, volleyball or badminton net, as well as a place for a campfire and tents, are located.

If you're wondering how to get to the lodge, here are the directions: Start by driving through the villages of Dolno and Gorno Količani. The road is paved until Crvena Voda, but be cautious as the asphalt is damaged in some areas. From Preslap to Mala Reka, there is a 9 km stretch of unpaved dirt road that requires careful driving. While you can use a regular city car, we recommend using a high-clearance or off-road vehicle for a safer journey. With slow and careful driving, you can reach the lodge in approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

If you require organized transportation, you can contact the facility's hosts to arrange it for you. 

The home is maintained by volunteers from the First Skopje Scouting Unit and the Mala Reka Leisure and Recreation Association. They are currently seeking donations for the reconstruction of the home.
