Just on the Macedonian side of the border with Albania lies the beloved monastery and church of St Naum. The island just above (with restaurant, far side of the bridge) sits where streams fed by natural springs which flow downhill from Lake Prespa, south and east of Lake Ohrid and higher in the mountains, flow into Lake Ohrid. These springs are remarkably clear and beautiful, running a short distance south (“inland,” as it were) to where they emerge from underground at a location where there’s another lovely little church which we’ll show in a future post. For now, views of the streams fed by the springs, and the two islands that sit at the south end. It’s all fairly protected as part of Gallicica National Park, as I understand.
