HIKING TO THE MARVELOUS VODNO, SKOPJE!

The breathtaking panoramic view from Vodno mountain overlooking the beautiful city of Skopje

If you come to Skopje and want to get a panoramic view of the city, the best place from which you can admire the picturesque view is Vodno.

Vodno is a mountain located in the southern part of the Skopje valley. It abounds in remarkable nature, and you get the feeling as if you are not in Skopje anymore.

The highest peak is at an altitude of 1066 meters and is called Krstovar. At the very top stands one of the biggest Christian crosses in the world—the Millennium Cross.

During your climb towards the fresh air, the trees, the sun, and nature will accompany you. You will get tired at times, but there will be a strong desire within you—a desire for fresh, clean air that will fill your lungs, different from the air in the city.

Enjoy every second, because the climb itself is the most interesting part of the journey. You will interact with nature, be present in every moment, and won’t be distracted by technology. Your heart will feel grateful, and your soul more than joyful.
