North Macedonia is one of the most underrated countries in Europe, but it’s definitely worth visiting for its nature alone. The list of natural wonders you can find here is pretty much endless, and these three are a good place to start.
Lake Ohrid
One of Europe’s deepest and oldest lakes is located on the mountainous border between North Macedonia and Albania, and it’s truly a sight to behold. Make sure to check out the Church of St. John at Kaneo during your visit and take a moment to learn more about the lake’s impressive biodiversity.
Matka Canyon
Due to its close proximity to the Macedonian capital of Skopje, Matka Canyon became one of the country’s top tourist attractions. In addition to being popular with hikers and fans of water sports, Matka is home to several historic churches and monasteries that you can explore during your visit.
Mavrovo National Park
Nature lovers also shouldn’t skip the country’s largest national park, which covers an area of 300 square miles. There’s something for everyone at Mavrovo, because this specious national park is filled with mountain trails, deep canyons, and crystal-clear lakes.
