Racha – Konjsko- Racha
This is a circular route, just over 12 km long, mid-level, with a vertical drop of 450 meters. It took about 7 hours to walk from Racha. Racha is only 3km from Ohrid near the border with Albania and the church of St Naum, one of the most beautiful around the lake and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Passing Racha, you also come across a modern church. The path to follow is purple. You can take the bus to the starting point which is quite cheap and to return, you will need to take a taxi. When you get to Velestovo, there is a nice fountain to cool off in and a XV century church dedicated to the Virgin.
Take care, then there are several trails that leave the village. You have to go to Konjsko and hence to Shipokno, which is really quiet. You then return to Racha, with the lake on your left. In almost every town there is a fountain of pure water, but you have to bring some food just in case, although often people will offer to prepare food for you.
