We arrived at the parking area in the evening, before sunset. There was plenty of space, but it was designed for cars. We were able to stop comfortably at the edge. The neighboring campsite was quite noisy; apart from that, we had a calm and peaceful night with a beautiful panorama. In the morning we visited the museum; it was interesting, and the entrance fee was not expensive.Translating
We spent the night here; it was very quiet and a good option after checking the few alternatives along that road. Cars and motorcycles arrive at night, but they do not disturb. We left early, before visitors arrived at the museum. Visit the museum; it is lovely. Admission is €2.50. Give some affection to the loving little dogs there.Translating
The parking area is somewhat small. There was still enough space for us, but I think it gets very crowded in high season.Translating
For what it is it's perfect for us. Parked at the top spot as that seemed the flattest. Watched a stunning sunset over the lake. A few locals came to go down to the lake but no-one stayed long. Very peaceful night. A couple of stray dogs but they did nothing more than just look at us.
We had a quiet night in mid-March 2026. There were three stray dogs on site, which barked occasionally during the night. The road became quieter at night, and the view was wonderful. We felt safe. At exactly 9:00 AM, two large tour buses arrived.Translating
Arrived at 3PM, watched a glorious sunset over the lake. Large pack of dogs in the car park (5/6) they barked a lot at the van as we reversed in. Sadly later on I got out of the van to one rogue dog growling and nipping near me. This caused the remaining dogs to flood around the van and bark. We slept here one night with no sign of the dogs at all. Few cars came and went around midnight
We were there on Saturday evening for one night. A lot of noise from groups of people hanging out in the parking area and playing loud music—until 2:30 AM for us, and then again at 5:00 AM. There is also a lot of traffic passing by, speeding through the bends. There is a poor-quality campsite below that also plays loud music until after midnight. Beautiful view. The corner is level. No shade.Translating
Great view, spent one night here, nobody bothered us. We did not see any stray dogs, but some people were on the parking lot talking and drinking until well after midnight.
Four stray dogs, one of them somewhat conspicuous. The other three were harmless. Very quiet from 3:30 PM onward, with a beautiful view. From 9 AM the area fills with tour buses. Once the first visitors are in the museum, it is worth going in; admission is 150 MKD per person.Translating
Ok for one night, lovely landscape and amazing sunset! Better to park at the beginning and not in the middle as buses stop there! Be kind to give some food and water to the four or five dogs that live there. I suggest to do not go Monday as the museum is closed and from Tuesday to Saturday it will be opened until 3.15pm
