Visit North Macedonia’s most prestigious monastery, which is located deep in the forest. A medieval place where monks isolate themselves from the rest of the modern world, so they can devote themselves entirely to their faith. The monastery households one of the biggest and finest wood-carved iconostases in the world. According to legends this iconostasis is a source of many ancient secrets. After some free time and optional lunch, you continue the journey towards the Duff Waterfalls. While entering the Natural Park of Mavrovo, which is the biggest in the whole Balkan, the path will lead you to the village of Rostushe and the canyon of the Rostushka river. At some points this canyon has a stunning dept of 100 meters. While enjoying this short walk, our guide will provide you astonishing tales about the flora and fauna of the National Park of Mavrovo. Afterwards, you will be brought back to Ohrid. Interesting fact: Did you know that the name Macedonia, nowadays north and south, is mentioned several times in the bible and is one of the most concentrated with monasteries and churches in the whole world?!
