Belasitsa’s chestnut forests rise above Petrich, while Kozhukh forms the rocky backdrop to Rupite. Around Sandanski, the sandstone hills of Melnik and the countryside near Rozhen give a day outdoors a different character. Ilindentsi combines village views with sculpture among the rocks.
In North Macedonia, spend time around Berovo Lake and the wooded Maleshevo Mountains. Waterfall visits near Strumica include Gabrovo and, in neighbouring Novo Selo Municipality, Koleshino and Smolare. Check the approach to each place and follow local access rules.
Check weather and local access guidance shortly before an outing. Respect site rules, take litter away and keep to places where your activity is permitted.
