MOUNTAIN LODGE DERVEN, PRILEP
``Derven`` is a mountain lodge on the Babuna mountain, at a height from which there is an extraordinary view of Prilep and its surroundings, of the Mukos and Selechka mountains. The lodge is exposed to the sun for a long period, as well to the winds that blow constantly. ``Derven`` is one of the few mountain lodges in the Balkans that have an original, extremely solid circular building made of stone and concrete which, despite the fire suffered, survives as a tourist attraction.
The construction of the home was started in 1951 and completed in 1955, with the voluntary work of Prilep mountaineers and with the help of the authorities. In 1955, it was handed over to the management of the Mountaineering Society - ``Kozjak`` from Prilep.
