Galicica is between lake Ohrid and lake Prespa.
After a nice talk with the director I had to go to see it myself.
I took the JEEP up to the plateau at 1500 meter. I didn’t realy have to put the JEEP in 4WD.
The extra space under the car is always nice but you can also get there with a
Fico (fiat 600).
These little things get almost anywhere and when they get stuck you just lift them up from one side. A little hard to do with the JEEP

On the plateau it looks like parts out of "Lord of the Rings" As it started to rain it realy looked like Orcs could come down the mountain any moment.

Highest point is 2288 meter
And the route isn’t snow free until lat May
