Mavrovo

We left Skopje and started towards the mountains. Our first stop was Mavrovo. Mavrovo is town on a small, man made lake. They built a dam which created the lake. You can still see the top of an old church peeking out of the water. When the damn was created the church ended up below the water. They have a small snow skiing resort at Mavrovo. I was told there is lots of snow there in the winter. It was so quiet and peaceful. I guess since it wasn't ski season, people don't visit as much, at least they didn't on the Saturday morning that we visited. It almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. We sat and had some coffee and just enjoyed the view for a bit.
