Building on my previous article " Northern Macedonia - Skopje"I would like to mention the phenomenon known to every inhabitant of Skopje, perhaps Macedonia. Just as every Czech was on Sněžka and at Karlštejn, every native knows the Mother Canyon. It is only about 20 kilometers from the capital on the Treska River.
You can drive to the canyon by car, but the parking lot is only a few cars. It is therefore better to leave the car at the Fish Grill restaurant about a kilometer earlier. This is followed by a narrow path around the dam and along the edge of the lake that holds the dam up to the St. Andrew's Orthodox Church and the Mother Canyon Canyon Restaurant. On the way, you may meet a small motorcar with which supplies are brought here. You can then continue along the canyon's edge on a secure path, or take a boat ride.
The canyon extends up to 30 kilometers, and because it is excavated in the karst subsoil, you will find a number of caves, the longest about 170 meters. Boat trip to the caves costs 300 MD.
But what you can not find on maps is quite a large number of marked hiking trails. Only at the crossroads do you know where they are going. And one more warning - in the summer there can be temperatures of up to 40 degrees and there are also crowded tourists and climbers.
