コルチャの湖・トップ9

Great coffee stop with incredible view.

Beach with bunkers

It's quite nice there. The park also has a few benches to sit down on and maybe enjoy your biker breakfast.

Luckily, thanks to Gimli, I remembered my ID. The Albanian border guards were not very friendly and took forever. On the North Macedonian side, things went very quickly

Also interesting are the anglers along the coastal road who sell their catch in parking lots right by the lake, most common: The Ohrid trout (Salmo letnica, rarely also Trutta letnica; Macedonian Охридска пастрмка Ohridska pastrmka; Albanian Koran; English Ohrid Trout) is a freshwater fish belonging to the salmonids, which is an endemic species in the extremely old and deep Lake Ohrid on the Albanian-North Macedonian border. In general, little data is available on the behavior and occurrence of the fish. The taxonomy should also be checked using current scientific methods. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohridforelle

Beautiful lake and at the same time border area between Albania and North Macedonia.

Lake Ohrid ([ˈɔxridzeː], Macedonian Охридско Езеро Ohridsko Ezero, Albanian Liqeni i Ohrit, rarely also Liqeni i Pogradecit) is the second largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula and one of the oldest in the world. It belongs to a greater part to North Macedonia, of which it is the largest body of water, and to a smaller part to Albania (see also border between Albania and North Macedonia).[3] The water level is 695 m above sea level. The maximum depth is 288 meters. Its area is given in North Macedonia as 349 square kilometers,[4] while official Albanian sources even speak of 362.6 square kilometers[2] and other figures such as 358 square kilometers can be found in the literature.[1] On the North Macedonian shore, Ohrid and Struga are the most important cities, on the Albanian shore it is Pogradec. In total, more than 200,000 people live around the lake.[5] The lake is at the centre of the UNESCO World Heritage Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid Region. In 1979, the Yugoslavian part of the lake was registered as a natural heritage site, and the following year it was expanded to include the cultural heritage of the region and the - strongly religious - cultural landscape around the lake. In 2019, the Albanian part was also included in the World Heritage Site.
