  • Great park with some nice hiking and beaufitul driving through the mountains. The road is not too steep and quite wide, compared to many roads in Albania. There are some potholes but there is enough space to go around. Entrance fee was 200 MKD, collected at the bottom. Payment was cash or credit card.
  • Definitely worth visiting. If you enter from Stenje you pay 200MKD (~3€). Road is not in best condition, but the view is spectacular. Breathtaking.
