We had our second night in Demir Kapija in the Vardar district at the Popova Kula winery. We would have liked to have taken a lap through the vineyards in the late afternoon, but it was raining heavily and the temperature had dropped significantly into the single-digit range. So we enjoyed our dinner and the excellent wine, a 6 year old Cabernet that was made here.
We did the little tour in the morning after breakfast.9 de octubre de 2021

An absolute highlight and recommendable without restriction is the archaeological site of Stobi, which we visited on our way back from Demir Kapija to Skopje. After all the ups and downs - both in terms of the landscape and our mood - this wonderfully well-kept open-air museum made up for a lot. We followed the circular route and were always overwhelmed by what has survived from the Roman era.This was our last stop on our short trip through the west of North Macedonia. Time to draw a conclusion. After building a facility at Skopje International Airport 22 years ago, we kept coming back for maintenance work and so we followed the changes in the country. The times of KFOR, the political changes, the tensions between religions as well as the Balkan countries, the influence of the EU and much more have left their mark.The metropolis of Skopje is the political figurehead. Many magnificent buildings, statues, fountains, hotels and restaurants characterize the city center around Alexander the Great, monitored by Kale Castle, which towers above everything. As a counterpoint to this, the Muslim-oriented old quarter is definitely worth visiting. The outskirts are then rather poor. The socialist influence can be seen everywhere. Another highlight of the capital is the local mountain Vodno, to which a cable car goes up. But it can also be climbed on foot. Tours in Skopje: komoot.de/tour/45025496, komoot.de/tour/45122197, komoot.de/tour/95588436.From a tourist point of view, the pride of the North Macedonians is - and rightly so - the city of Ohrid with the unique Lake Ohrid. The deep and ancient lake with its unique fauna, including the famous Ohrid trout, which only lives here, is worth a visit in itself. But the city also has a lot to offer. Many different sacred buildings, Roman remains such as the amphitheater, shops, restaurants and a pedestrian zone to stroll through. In addition, there is the environment, from which the hiking area in the Galičica National Park is to be highlighted. Tours in and around Ohrid: komoot.de/tour/96122526, komoot.de/tour/96189273, komoot.de/tour/96148753.All in all, it is worth visiting this country, mainly for explorers, pioneers, hikers and those interested in history, less for families with small children. A week with Skopje, Ohrid and Stobi can easily be filled. If you add a few more hikes, you can live here for 14 days.Of course, these are all my own impressions. Other visitors, but also locals, may see it very differently. But maybe our tours encourage you to visit the country and see it with your own eyes.

I was really looking forward to this place. A town and a lake in the middle of the mountains. The travel guide also promised a lot in terms of tourism, beach life and the promenade. Maybe there is really something going on here in summer, the many closed beach structures at least suggest it. As we strolled here there were only a couple of very large restaurants open waiting for guests. Otherwise, a lot of things were in poor condition and also quite dirty. So no comparison to Lake Ohrid, which is a real pearl in North Macedonia (komoot.de/tour/96122526, komoot.de/tour/96189273).

Yesterday evening we reached Berovo, where we spent the night a bit outside. The hotel was built on the site of a former monastery and adapts to the style accordingly.
We started our second day in western North Macedonia with a drive to the Berovo waterfalls, about 6 kilometers from the hotel. The area there is wildly romantic and, with its lush greenery, a relief compared to the fields that were burned by the extremely dry summer.
We followed the designated hiking trail, although there was actually no path, but paths that were difficult to recognize due to the heavy vegetation. However, we couldn't miss the beginning of the trail. A large entrance gate showed us the direction. The three bridges on the way also showed us where to go. The first bridge looked pretty trustworthy. At the second and third we preferred the way through the very little water-bearing brook, they looked so brittle.9 de octubre de 2021

Well, what should you write about this place?
If you look at the general condition, you should shake your head. Although Bansko is a recognized spa, you stumble from a garbage heap to the next dirty corner. You just can't gloss it over. The multi-story high-rise hotels, which can be seen from every point of view, are just as daunting. The paint is crumbling everywhere.There must have been a heyday, maybe 1500 years ago, when the Romans also valued the thermal springs here and built baths, some of which can be seen and visited. But even there the ravages of time are gnawing and the protective devices do not look very trustworthy.8 de octubre de 2021

Our next detour was to Kratovo, which means something like place in the crater. Here you can clearly see that hardly anything of the money from the capital or from the EU arrives. You feel like you've been transported back decades. All of life takes place at the fountain, which is also home to the only bank with ATMs. I didn't dare to take a picture of this meeting point. All eyes of the residents were already on Bernd and me. We soon left the place upstream into the mountains and felt much safer there again 😅.

On our onward journey we came through the small town of Šlegovo, where we stopped at a mini market - more like a corner shop - to buy water and a few sweets. There was a monastery across from the shop and we decided to stroll a little through the town.
The monastery was closed and looked rather deserted.
At the eastern exit of the village was the cemetery and while I was taking pictures of this small place, a woman spoke to me out of curiosity. After clarifying the possible level of communication, it turned out that she spoke English fairly well and so I learned from her that this place was founded by Germans, more precisely Silesians. Hence the place name Šlegovo (Cyrillic Шлегово), which is pronounced like Schlegowo.7 de octubre de 2021

After our maintenance work at Skopje Airport fell victim to Corona in 2020, we were able to dare to fly to North Macedonia again this year - well vaccinated. As we did 2 years ago, Bernd and I hung back a little bit after our work to get to know the country and its people a little better. We took on the previously unknown western part of this Balkan country.From Skopje we drove directly west in the direction of Kuklica, where we wanted to see the stone dolls that were created by erosion and flushing. Enter the location in the navigation system and go. About 15 kilometers before the goal we left the main road to get closer to our goal on a gravel road. Another 5 kilometers later it was over, even for our off-road vehicle. Class!
Another attempt, this time entering 'Kuklica, Stone Dolls' and lo and behold, it worked.The stone dolls are rock formations that were caused by long-term erosion of the volcanic rock. Harder, compact stones (ignimbrite, andesite) slowly erode and protect the softer tuffs underneath.Of course there are also legends about these sometimes human-looking formations. More on that at the highlight.6 de octubre de 2021

I have taken the train through Braunschweig countless times, but only today did I interrupt a train ride to Frankfurt am Main to see this big city in Lower Saxony for 2 hours. In any case, as I noticed in retrospect, there was too little time that I donated to this city and the list of places I would like to visit a second time is getting longer and longer.
In my opinion, Braunschweig impresses with the diversity that it has to offer architecturally. Many epochs can be experienced, sometimes even several in one place. Today I would have liked a guided tour that would have brought me closer to the history and present of this city.In any case, a great mystery of my childhood was revealed today. As a little boy, I was always enthusiastic about the lion emblem that hung over the radiators of Berlin's public buses. Büssing sounded like the majority of buses and I thought that was chic. I couldn't have known at the time that this was simply an entrepreneur's surname, and it was probably a good thing that it would have destroyed a lot of my fantasies :-).3 de octubre de 2021

Overnight in Bad Langensalza.
I had 2.5 hours before dark and I used that for a city tour. As usual, I not only rattled off some of the main sights, but also took time for the outskirts and the surrounding area. While everything around the bathroom facilities was in neat condition, this impression crumbles as soon as you leave the hotspots. Abandoned and decaying houses, abandoned restaurants and shops as well as abandoned factories show that not everyone is participating in the big cake of prosperity.
Nevertheless, the positive impression prevails. Beautiful restored half-timbered houses, wonderfully preserved medieval systems with city walls and many defensive towers, nice streets along the Salza and a lot more make this place an experience and an interesting photo object26 de septiembre de 2021
