Nestled on the cusp of the forest, within the charming village of Mavrovo, lies the villa for this retreat - a true treasure trove of untamed accommodations.

With the inclusion of three bathrooms and two well-equipped kitchens and relaxing living areas, convenience meets practicality seamlessly.

The central hub for dining can be found on the second floor, affording a vantage point that overlooks the enchanting expanse of Mavrovo Lake. A spacious balcony on this floor, cocooned by verdant trees and boasting an awe-inspiring panorama, serves as the designated practice space.

Included excursions

Hiking

Tour to one of the nearby peaks led by a guide explaining the local flora and fauna, releasing all tension through the practice of ‘forest bathing,’ while enjoying the untouched nature of the Mavrovo National Park.

Biking

Lake Mavrovsko is situated at 1,200 meters above sea level. On the tour, you will witness high deciduous and coniferous forests rising on all sides, which are reflected in the clear lake water. The track is 31 kilometers long and easily accessible by bike. One of the most impressive hidden gems of this region, the submerged church built in 1850, will take your breath away.

ATV Ride in nature

To add an extra touch of wilderness to this retreat, the hosts are proposing a challenging, yet invigorating experience: a wild mountain ATV excursion. After a one hour tour through Bistras’ Forest, the group will reconvene in the old Galicnik’s tavern to enjoy a hearty, regional dish to recount tales of your wild adventures.

Visit Galicnik

Galicnik is undoubtedly the most famous village in Mavrovo National Park. It is built on the slope of a mountain, with wonderful examples of traditional architecture. Since 1963, on the 12th of July a traditional wedding is organized, the Galicnik Wedding. This is an event to commemorate the traditional wedding customs and show tribute to the Macedonian cultural heritage.

The ATV tour will start from the village and you will feel the rush of wind against your face as you explore remote trails inaccessible by traditional vehicles. The breathtaking beauty of nature and the landscape is overwhelming. The track will lead you through the magical ancient forest to a church dating back to the 15th century.

Retreat location

Located an hour from Skopje, the Mavrovo National Park is a true delight, offering natural wilderness in the form of lush forests, rolling hills, and a beautiful turquoise lake.

There, you will be able to unleash your adventurous spirit with thrilling ATV rides that unveil the park's rugged terrain, and let the rhythmic hoofbeats of horseback riding carry you through lush meadows and ancient woodlands.

Lace up your hiking boots for treks that lead to panoramic vistas, and cycle around the glistening lake, in hopes of spotting the 19th century St. Nicholas Church, semi-submerged in the Mavrovo lake.

With the location situated just a short distance from Macedonia's capital city, you can choose to spend time in Skopje before or after the retreat, exploring the intriguing juxtaposition of ancient landmarks and contemporary architecture, or taking a spin through the Old Bazaar.
