Only two ways to get to the Zahumska (or Zaum) monastery: by boat or foot over a fairly narrow footpath across steep terrain with stretches of lakeshore that are very narrow when the water is high – which it was when we talked the path two weeks ago, our first morning there.
Though it’s beautiful and peaceful, this bit of water is actually carrying quite a bit of water downhill, from Lake Prespa on the south side of Mt Magaro, over to Lake Ohrid on the north side of Mt Magaro, via natural underground springs or rivers which emerge above ground in the place where you see this lovely chapel, first photo in the galler below. The others photos are all of the short (one km?) canal – lake – river that connects from the chapel to Lake Ohrid itself.
Saw this item along the steep trail Steve & I walked precisely three weeks ago to view our first (of many) monastery in Macedonia. Decided I’d see if it can start a new series :-).
(so much world, so little time....)
