Located in eastern Albania/western Macedonia and bisected by the Macedonian/ Albanian border, the 367 sq. km Lake Ohrid is the deepest lake on the Balkan Peninsula with an average depth of 138m and a maximum of 294m. It is also a popular summer holiday and hiking destination for Macedonians, Albanians and other eastern Europeans.
With its tectonic origins as a result of movements in the earth’s crust, Ohrid has a rich marine environment and is home to some unique species of fish – including the speckled trout. One of the best ways to explore the Lake Ohrid region, either in Albania or Macedonia is by mountain-bike.
