Galičica National Park
National park · North Macedonia
A narrow limestone ridge climbing to 2,265m between Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa, its beech forest slopes giving way to alpine pasture near the summit. The Galičica Ridge traverse, about six hours end to end, is the rare spot where both lakes are visible at once, Ohrid's deep teal against Prespa's green.
