Combine the beauty of a half day rural experience with a delightful home hosted meal at a local family's rural house.
Marko's monastery

Marko's Monastery has been active since its establishment. Its timeless frescoes, its wonderful courtyard with a traditional konak, its calm and spiritual nuns, the taste of their home-made products, and the shadows of the surrounding trees make this site an ultimate place for both intellectual and spiritual refreshment.
Lake Kozjak Viewpoint on Mount Jasen
Kozjak is an artificial lake in Western Macedonia. It is the largest artificial lake in Macedonia, located between the mountain Suva Gora in the west and the Jasen reserve in the east. Towards the lake there are two ways: the southern approach to the lake leads from Makedonski Brod and stretches along the river Treska. The other approach is from Skopje, where the road extends along the southern slopes of Vodno. Kozjak is a 32 km long lake, at some points even 130 meters deep, and the maximum distance from one to the other coast is 400 meters. It is situated at an ideal altitude of less than 300 meters.
