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.
In case you’re keeping track, what you’re seeing above is 2200-meter high Mt Magaro, in this case as seen from the northeast on a 1987-meter prominence that I hiked up to early last week. We showed you this mountain in our first post from Macedonia, nearly three weeks ago. Here, we show you more of the lovely mountainous terrain between and around Magaro, Lake Ohrid (top right corner here, with probably a bit of Albania visible in the distance) and Lake Prespa (top left corner here, with probably bits of both Albania and Greece showing up, since all three countries share Prespa), where Steve and I spent a glorious day exploring, last week.
(so much world, so little time....)
