Galicica National Park covers an area of
25 000
ha,
and about 11
%
of the
land is private property.
Lowest point is Lake Ohrid, situated on 695m above
sea level, Lake Prespa is positioned on 850m a.s.l.,
and the highest point is the summit Magaro with
m. Galicica mountain has well developed
landscape with deep gorges and steep hills rolling
down towards both lakes. Due to the specific
landscape configuration, mountain of Galicica is
divided on four integral parts.
The
part south of “Zli dol” is named “Stara Galicica”
(Old Galicica). This is the tallest and most
remarkable landscape of the National Park. Both
sides fall steeply towards the lakes and are
wrinkled with dry riverbeds that make the mountain
look inaccessible. In the central part there is a
plateau with altitude over 2000m. It contains
almost all surface rock formations.
North
of Zli dol, there is a part Galicica. The highest
summit Vakoski Gnoj has central positon and
elevation of 1999m. In this part the mountain is
least wide (i.e. 9.75km only). There are steep
hills falling towards Lake Ohrid, similar to the
previous part, and on the east, unlike the west
side, the hillside is more gentle in the direction
of the Lake Prespa. The plateau in the centre of
this part is elevated on 1400m above sea level, and
there are four rock formations on it.
The rest of the mountain range is divided on two
parts; Petrino – facing the valley of Ohrid and
Istok on the other side facing towards valley of
Prespa.
