Copied from Trip Advisor
"That being said, during my last visit to Macedonia in September 2015 (visit #8), my wife and I along with 2 friends, drove up the mountain road to the top of Mount Galicica. This was the untraveled back road that took you up by Lake Presa on the way to the top where you could view Lake OCHRID, The road itself was excellent to drive on with numerous switch back turns.

Once at the top, as you can see by the photos, the view was gorgeous, You could see a city off to the left in Albania, the entire view of Lake OCHRID, and the City of Ochrid off to the right. Ochrid is an ancient city that is so worth visiting. 365 churches, old cobblestone roads, cliffside homes, the ancient castle and so many other cites to see.

Lake Ochrid itself borders on Macedonia, Albania and Greece

From the top of Galicica, In one of the photos you can see the village of TRPEJA Macedonia. I hope that is the correct name of the village below, where I am standing. There are no barriers where I am taking the photo. If you slip, the first step is almost 1 vertical mile to the village below. According to my GPS on my camera the village below me is 5003 feet above sea level.

The view was so naturally gorgeous and I was so impressed. Macedonia is basically a country of Mountains and Valleys. I have been there 8 times and each time I am equally impressed."
