コルチャの湖・トップ9

湖畔の広々とした静かな一帯で、水は驚くほど澄んでおり、地平線は北マケドニアへと穏やかに開けています。リラックスした雰囲気で、平らな小石、開けた視界、そして地中海のような光の差し込みがあります。シーズン初めには、ビーチはしばしば完全に空っぽなので、ルート中の短い休憩場所として、またはポグラデツの遊歩道沿いの静かな立ち寄り場所として理想的です。

オフリド湖のアルバニア側、トゥシェミシュトにある木製の桟橋と板張りの小道は、この地域で最も写真映えする場所の1つです。トゥシェミシュトは、北マケドニアとの国境近くにある、魅力的で本格的な漁村です。木造の構造物は、透き通った湖の水面の一部と、村を縦横に流れる絵のように美しい狭い水路の一部を走っています。

8月でもここには空席がありましたが、ポグラデツには十分な人がいました。

Road cyclists will also find something to enjoy here. A beautiful, quiet road right by the lake. Finally, a tour without a lot of elevation gain 😉

Great coffee stop with incredible view.

Beach with bunkers

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

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.
