Hungry????
The nature lovers can enjoy hiking around the Berovo Lake and Maleshevo Mt. Lake Berovo is about 7 km out of the center of Berovo. The Berovo Lake is an artificial reservoir with a big dam.Unfortunately, the lake is not suitable for sunbathing and swimming, because the shore is steep and overgrown and cannot easily be reached. At the Berovo Tourist Information Center you can get a free map with 5 hiking trails in the surroundings. A description of these trails can also be found on the website of Hotel Manastir. However, it might be the best to hire a local guide, since, generally, marking of the trails in Macedonia is quite poor.
How to get there: Drive toward Shtip - Kochani - Vinica - Berovo. You can also get this town from Delchevo, drive toward Berovo, or: from Strumica drive toward Berovo (between these two towns you will climbe the beautiful Ograzhden Mountains).
