Yes, part of the route is actually along the road, but since the traffic is clear, it wasn't that dramatic. The destination, however, is worth it.

Started from albania and went through fronteers to macedonia
There is 6km on the road and also 1 in the forest... this is not a hike in a forest
I do not advise this hike

We decide to go for a walk here, a beautiful walk through the forest of 2.5 km. On the way we come across a very small church (Church of Holy Mother of God) that lies against the source of Lake Ohrid. The water here is very clear and the vegetation on the bottom is very beautiful to see. We walk on and come across the next church (Church of Saint Athanasius). Here are also the homes of the nuns/brothers and the caretaker. Unfortunately the church is closed, but then the caretaker comes running to open the church especially for us! He gives some explanation about the church and officially we were not allowed to take pictures, but for this time he allowed it. Very beautiful church too, very richly decorated.
