The aesthetic mountain Galica acts as a separator between the 2 lakes of Ohrid and Prespa. Due to its appeal and size, this piece of nature has been recognized as one of the natural parks of Northern Macedonia. The top of the mountain, called Magaro, has an amazing height of 2254 meters.
After arrival at the starting point, the hike starts through the forest flanks of the Galica Mountains. You will experience the flora and fauna of this place under the guidance of a mountain expert. During the hike there are many opportunities to admire the amazing view over Lake Ohrid, which is currently 500 meters lower. The walk continues along 3 traditional mountain villages, where you will learn the stories about the survival of the residents during the harsh cold of winter.

After a walk of about 2 hours and 3 km. crossed, visit the prehistoric village 'Bay of Bones'. After that you will be rewarded with a tasty lunch on the beach, which is only accessible by boat. So bring swimsuits and towels!
