Itinerary description
|
Before starting we take a tour of the village of Ohrid and around the lake, very nice! Stage that begins with a continuous climb but is very good. The landscapes in Macedonia have changed a lot compared to Albania, it is more mountainous and the climate cooler.
From km 18 the climb becomes harder until we crown the first port (Km 25).
Then begins a long descent along a wide road in very good condition, to continue gliding along a busy road with fruit trees next to it. We stop to "steal" some delicious apples !!
At km 45 the second port begins on a wide road that is not very hard. At the top we leave the fast road and take a track / road that we intuit should be the old road. It is well worth doing it because it is about 20km almost all downhill and without any car. There is a stretch that the road is still cobbled.
We finally arrived in Bitola at lunch time. We had lunch at the restaurant / hotel very well.
In the afternoon today we do not pedal, we rest in the hotel we have booked (Hotel Theater) which is quite good and they are very friendly, and have laundry service.
