INFORMATION ABOUT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS:

You can get there by car from Bogomila (50 km southwest of Veles), through the village of Nezhilovo or through the village of Papradishte. The lodge can be reached by car for about 1 hour from Bogomila. The road from Bogomila to the villages of Papradiste and Nezhilovo is asphalted and it’s in a rather bad condition; the asphalt in some places is significantly damaged, which requires careful driving. The road is narrow in the upper part towards the upper villages, it is practically impossible for two vehicles to pass by; as a consequence on days with significant traffic in this area, longer queues are created, due to traffic jams.
