The lake shore along the village is nice and almost empty. You can enjoy swimming and sunbathing. Usually the lake surface is covered with abundant bird species: Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra), Grebes (Podiceps), cormorants, various species of ducks etc. And pelicans! This huge, unusual birds attract your attention by their strength and elegant flying. When the villagers return back from the fishing, a crowd of pelicans wait for them and literally eat offered fish from their hands! The pelicans often move between the two Prespa lakes (Small and Great Prespa Lake) depending of the breeding period and season of the year.
Today many villas are built in Konsko, even a hotel! You can spend few days here, feeling like Robinson Crusoe. BUT KEEP IN MIND THIS: there is no store in the village and no drinking water wellspring. The villagers drink the lake water or bring bottled water from Stenye or other places. Therefore, bring your own supplies of food and water!!!!!
The cache is a small white plastic container.Please, be aware of snakes: check the cache place with a stick or a branch first!
How to get there:The village Konsko, and this cache, lies about 9 km from the village Stenye, which is the last village on the west coast, near the Macedonian-Albanian border. From Stenye to Konsko leads a forest road. In the center of the Stenye village (R1) turn abruptly to the left and drive some 180 meters toward the lake. Proceed south-east, along the lake shore, about 2.3 km, to the R2 point. Here turn uphill right and continue on the forest road. There is no need of terrain vehicle. My Fiat Panda, regular, no 4x4 options, get me there without problems. A bike is good option too.
Please, extreme stealth and precaution is required when getting out, logging and putting back the cache, in order to protect it of Muggles! In case of lost of the cache the owner can visit the location and restore it only 1-2 per year! Thanks.
