Beyond its lakes, North Macedonia is gloriously mountainous. Mavrovo National Park offers hiking, skiing and the much-photographed half-submerged church in its reservoir.
The Galičica range between Lakes Ohrid and Prespa rewards hikers with views over both, while Pelister National Park protects ancient pine forests and glacial lakes.
Trails are quiet and unspoiled — a paradise for walkers who like to have the mountains to themselves.
