Weekend Destination Suggestion: Stanečki Waterfall

Weekend Destination Suggestion: Stanečki Waterfall

With the arrival of spring, the team at Kajak.mk feels obligated to introduce you to more destinations in Macedonia that can fill your free time with outdoor activities.

You will often come across the term "Active Tourism," which Kajak.mk uses to convey that a healthy lifestyle and positive energy are at the heart of active tourism, an area where Macedonia has immense potential.


Macedonia is a mountainous country with stunning destinations shaped by nature and its surroundings, as well as delicious traditional food. Active destinations and healthy food are the perfect combination for those who want to live a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, in the coming period, we will share a lot of tips on how to make the most of your free time with outdoor activities and how to reward yourself with a delicious meal in a local restaurant or household after your adventures.

Today's recommended destination is located in the Kriva Palanka region, where you can find the Stanec Waterfall.


The waterfall is an excellent reason to spend your free weekend enjoying outdoor activities. It is located on Kozja River, near the village of Stanci, about 8 kilometers from Kriva Palanka. There is an asphalt road leading to Stanci, which is 5 kilometers long, and from there, you continue along a trail that follows Kozja River. After a 3-kilometer or 30-minute walk through beautiful nature, you will reach the magnificent Stanec Waterfall, which sits at an altitude of 1160 meters and has water flowing throughout the year.


The waterfall stands at a height of 11 meters, making it the largest waterfall in the Osovos Mountains. The water flows into a large natural pool created by the continuous current. The terrain leading to the waterfall is relatively accessible and surrounded by dense beech forest.

You can combine your visit to Stanec Waterfall with a visit to the restaurants located at Kalin Kamen, which you can explore and book through the Kajak.mk database or with one click HERE.

Don't miss the chance to enjoy nature. This is an ideal combination for your whole family, friends, or a team trip. If you're part of a larger group, the Kajak.mk team is available to organize a one-day tour to the waterfalls with lunch at Kalin Kamen. You can send a request for group organization with one click HERE.
