KONSKO - OHRID


The village of Konjsko is distanced  6-7km away from Ohrid.  It is a mountain village with mostly old and empty houses seldom used.  There is a population of 22 residents all of them older than 15.  Most of the former residents of this village have migrated to Dolno Konjsko, in search of better living conditions.

There only about a dozen households having livelihood in the village.  Only few of those are permanently in the village.  They are mostly old people living on their pension, or being financially supported by other members of their family.  Few residents are involved in cattle breeding, having a herds of sheep counting several hundred heads.  Sheep are grazing in the village vicinity, some of the lambs are sold, and there is ongoing production of cheese.
