Description

The landscape, the climatic conditions, the hydrological and vegetative feature, make Mavrovo a very unique, special place where the gifts of the nature can be admired. The park contains numerous rivers and springs each full with clear cold water which create small waterfalls and rapids. Mavrovo National Park is the largest protected area in the country making the largest National Park of Macedonia. It was formed in 1949 to protect the natural beauty and nowadays it covers an area of 72,204ha of which some 27,000ha are forested. On the mountain slopes, at a great height there are 17 glacial lakes that complement the amazing scenery. The highest mountain peak in the country is proudly a part of Mavrovo National Park. At 2764 metres high - Korab is the most beautiful mountain landscape in Macedonia. The alpine climate is combined with green meadows, dense forests and rocky peaks which easily reach above 2,000 meters in height. The melting of the snow creates the highest waterfall in Macedonia with a total vertical drop of 136 meters. The magic of Korab is even more alluring thanks to its beautiful glacial lakes and fresh flowing streams.
