CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Lake Ohrid is one of the oldest lakes in Europe, perhaps two or three million years old, and it has a character that sets it apart. It lies on the border between North Macedonia and Albania, a deep, clear body of water about thirty kilometres long, ringed by mountains, and it is home to more than two hundred species found nowhere else, including the Ohrid trout and a number of tiny snails and crustaceans. UNESCO listed the lake and the town in 1979 and 1980, for both natural and cultural reasons.

Ohrid is where the day begins. Next is Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid.
Lake Ohrid is one of the oldest lakes in Europe, perhaps a million years old or more, a deep, clear basin shared between Albania and North Macedonia, and this point lies on the Albanian side, close to Pogradec. The lake is so old and so isolated that it has developed its own species, with dozens of fish, snails and crustaceans found nowhere else. The most famous is the Ohrid trout, locally known as koran, which is protected and appears on menus with some controversy. UNESCO listed the lake and the town of Ohrid together for their natural and cultural heritage, and the Albanian shore is a part of the same landscape.

45 km in you reach Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid. Next is Rrajca.
Rrajca is a village in the hills on the western side of Lake Ohrid, in North Macedonia, a short way from the small town of Vevčani, and the point lies in a rolling country of orchards, beech woods and pastures just above the lake. The hills here belong to the Jablanica range, which forms a rugged wall between Macedonia and Albania, and the sound of cowbells and the smell of woodsmoke in the evenings are part of daily life. The village has a mixed population, and the local name in Albanian, Rrajcë, reminds you that this is a border region where Macedonian and Albanian cultures live side by side.
