Set within the peaceful landscape of a national park, Mavrovo Lake provides a prime spot for walking, fishing, boating, and swimming. The largest artificial lake in Macedonia is surrounded by chains of mountain ridges, snowcapped peaks, and wide green highlands. Notice the church in the middle of the lake, half-submerged in the water, which was flooded when the manmade lake was built to supply a power plant. The waters are rich with trout, which you can order off the menu from many hotels, villas, and restaurants nearby.

  There is nothing to do in the summer, not bad kind, but all over Macedonia there is much better. The cave is closed. The lake itself has dried up and the church stands on the soil) In the area there are a couple of good vipoints. If you drive, it's worth a visit
