A great place to visit
This is the easiest of the trails in the Ohrid region, it's only six miles long and a little less than three hundred meters of ascent, for a total of four hours of trail. The trail starts just before reaching the monastery of St Petka, above the town of Velgoshti, northwest of Ohrid. It continues to rise in arid terrain, until the Velgoshka river, which gives its name to the town. After this, the trail leads down to the lake.
The highest point of the tour is the monastery of St Nicholas, which was recently built in this holiest of regions for Orthodox Macedonia. There's also a very open view to Ohrid and its region.
