Our first tour today was
Skopje fortress, unfortunatelly closed for visitors
.
Our next destination was the
Matka canyon, west from Skopje.
A couple of moments later we rode through small villages from
Skopje through
Tetovo to
Mavrovo Lake.
Macedonia and
Slovenia both share a name for a village called
Žirovnica or
Жировница, although they also have a river with that name.
We continued riding along the national boarder through city
Debar, near Lake Debar, we passed Lake Globocica and arrived to
Lake Ohrid in city
Struga.
