Skopje - Vodno - Matka

We started the tour at a bakery in Skopje close to our accommodation, but you can of course just start it at the city border where there is also parking. Vodno and the way to Matka is hard to miss and there are signs along the way, even though there are sometimes multiple paths which can be confusing. At the Matka, you will need a short boat ride which cost 50 Denar in September 2026. Once you reach the river, you need to make a sound or something similar to get the attention of one of the boat riders. From the Matka Canyon, you still need to walk quite a bit to get to a bus. We had struggles finding the right one but ended up taking the No. 12 from the central intersection in Glumovo. However, there also seems to be a bus 60 closer to Matka which we apparently missed that day.
