Kaimaktsalan

Kaimaktsalan is the third highest peak in Macedonia, located north of Pella on the Republic of Macedonia's border. Locals call it "white top" because of the heavy snowfall. It is the southernmost and highest mountain of a range known in Greek as the Voras Mountains and in Macedonian as Nide, with a height of 2,521 meters (8,271 feet). The border between the two countries runs right through the peak. After Mytikas and Smolikas, it is Greece's third highest peak, and North Macedonia's fifth highest.

The highest point, Voras Kaimaktsalan, is 2.524 meters above sea level. Jenna, at 2.182 meters, and Pinovo, at 2.156 meters, are among the other summits. Hiking, climbing, and skiing are all popular activities on the mountain, with the ski center being the most popular among winter sports aficionados. Forests of pine trees, oaks, and other unusual flora abound in the mountainous region.

Hiking paths frequently pass through the Orma, Pozar, and Pinovo districts. The Church of Profitis Elias and a Serbian war memorial can also be found on the peak of Voras. Small traditional villages such as Agios Athanasios and Karidia, both quite lovely and snug, are nearby. If you have time, you should also go to the Pella archaeological site and Ancient Edessa.
