Ohrid and Monastery St.Naum
Breakfast.
We’ll take a trip on the scenic route along the lake’s east shore to St. Naum, which lies a few kilometers from the Albanian border. The first stop on the road will be “The Bay of Bones” near the village Gradiste which is a reconstructed village on stilts like they were built in the Bronze Age. After a few kilometers drive on the narrow and winding road with beautiful views of the lake and villages far below us, we shall come to St. Naum. The views of the lake and the snow-capped mountains in Galicica National Park is stunning. The old monastery St. Naum was built in the 900′s and in the old church, St. Naum is buried. They say you can still hear his heartbeat if you listen really, really closely at his chest on the tomb. The monastery with its church has a beautiful location with great views over Lake Ohrid and of the fields where a number of peacocks peacefully are walking around. Over the whole place, you feel strong spirituality!
A bit from St. Naum we’ll visit the springs of the river Crni Drim that runs one of the few rivers that water the lake out on the other end of the Lake. Maybe this is the nicest place in Macedonia. After visiting the church Sveta Petka we’ll drive you back to Ohrid.
