The route starts from the entrance of the National Park Galichica, passing through the village of Velestovo. The path crosses a forest of low-trunk plants and trees, and a rocky area, from where you will have a stunning view of the city of Ohrid. Then, the route gets to a larger area covered with pastures and a natural mountain lake, with a beautiful panorama. The next destination is the mountain house Asangjura, where lunch will be served. There a degustation of quality Macedonian cheese, rakia and wine will be organized. Additionally, lunch will be served that includes seasonal organic vegetables, homemade bread, side-dishes and seasonal fruit for desert. Then the route continues through a fantastic off-road path, which leads to a point with a magnificent view of the Prespa Lake (the lake on the other side from the mountain Galichica). The path then goes on the other side of the mountain, from the Ohrid Lake, where there is a view of the mountain’s highest peak Magaro (2,225m, asl). On the way back to Ohrid / Struga the road passes through a small fishing village Trpeica and the village Peshtani. The drive is on the shores of the Lake Ohrid.
