It is located on the mountain Baba, within the
National Park
Pelister. This mountain
possesses some extraordinary features which have been a basic factor in the
development of tourism in the region. The mountain has got 25 peaks with height
above 2,000 m. The highest
peak - Pelister is 2,601 meter high.
Especially significant are the hydrological
characteristics: numerous springs, mountain rivers and the two mountain lakes - Golemo
(Big) and Malo (Small), known as "Pelisterski Oči"/Eyes. However, the most
distinctive feature is the presence of the Molika tree - an endemic species of
tree which exists only in this place and is specific for its aesthetic effect on
the landscape. The variable climatic conditions are dependent on height. The
higher areas have a continental climate, while above 1,800 m the climate is
mountain. Above 2,400 m the mountain climate gains Alpine characteristics. The
average air temperature is 1,30C to 2,30C. Because of such
a climate, during the entire winter, until April, the slopes of the mountain
Baba are covered with deep snow. All this creates ideal conditions for the
development of winter tourism.
