Get Ready To Be Blown Away By The Mountain Landscapes

North Macedonia's landscape is mostly mountainous, with the highest point being Golem Korab (2753 m) on the border with Albania. Titov Vrv (2748 m) is the highest mountain in northern Macedonia, with Mal Turcin nearby (2707 m). The majority of the country is a plateau with elevations ranging from 600 to 900 meters. Mountains cover nearly 80% of Macedonia's land area. There are 50 lakes and 34 mountains higher than 2,000 meters in only 25,000 square kilometers. Macedonia now ranks fourth in Europe in terms of average elevation (741 meters), trailing only Andorra, Switzerland, and Austria.

Despite its small size, Macedonia has three breathtaking national parks: Mavrovo, Pelister, and Galicica. These are some of the last places on Earth where you can see a very rare species: the Balkan Lynx. If you enjoy mountains and hiking, there are many completely undiscovered trails throughout the country and the best time to visit is during the spring.
