BISLIM GORGE, ILINDEN

It is 6.5 km long. It is 5 km away from the town of Kumanovo.
Under the name Bislimska Klisura, the part between the hill Krasta from the west and the hill Golic from the east side is included, that is, the deeply incised valley of the river Pčinja from the village Dobroshane to the village Pcinja.
The gorge is only 7 km long, but even in such a short length, there is a lot to see. Тhe people simply call it ``Bislim`` and immediately associates a stony and mysterious area where hardly anyone passes.

TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS:

The easiest way to get there is by turning off the regional road Kumanovo - St. Nikole right next to ``Iskrin Most``, and then follow the course of the river.
The other way to get there is from the south side – through the village of Pčinja, so you go upstream on the course of the river. But beware that the centra,l most interesting part of the gorge is completely inaccessible for any vehicle and can only be passed by walking.

To see the gorge in all its beauty, it is best to climb the Krasta hill, i.e. the peak or the village of Tikijarnica, which is above the river itself.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACCOMMODATION CAPACITIES:
