| After having spent a week in Montenegro, we moved to the second destination of the trip, North Macedonia. Ik took a full day to move through Kosovo to the Mavrovo Natianl Park. We stayed at the wonderful hotel along the Radika river in a heavily wooded gorge. The contrast between this hotel and the guesthouse of Prokletije could hardly have been more pronounced, and we regretted this place was only a stop over in our travel to the Galičica National Park. While wooded gorges make gorgeous landscapes, they are not easily accessible. During our one day here, we first went to the reservoir Mavrovo lake, and from there found our way to high altitude meadows (ca 1700 m). These meadows are in use for grazing sheep, but in the rocky terrain surrounding them I found many interesting plants. |
