3 - Shore Excursions in Ohrid

Riding ATV through whole national park Galicica is truly a spectacular experience that you will never forget. The beginning of the tour is gaining 300 m on asphalt road that leads to the village of Velestovo. As we leave the village the asphalt turns in rocky road uphill until we reach the Krstec peak 1600 m.a.s.l. Then the ride turns into a real dancing through the highlands of Asandjura. Once we reach the Asandjura hut we will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch together. After the break we pass under Tomoros peak and the forgotten ski lifts until we hit the asphalt again. On this point we will be blessed with spectacular views of Prespa Lake and moments later a bird's eye view of Lake Ohrid and Albania in the background. While moving down we leave the National park and continue riding by the lake to the starting point in Ohrid. This tour covers approx. 70 km in a loop without backtracking, offering you the chance to see variety of Mother Nature’s masterpieces.
