Matka Canyon is the most populer and beutiful nature site near Skopje. Yet it is a place where technology, culture and natural beauty meet in one. It is an accumulation dam built in 1938. Place abundant of churches and monasteries, most from the 14 century. It is the canyon of the river Treska and is beautiful on its own. But even more intriguing are the caves, amongst which, potentially the deepest, underwater cave in Europe.

The tour starts at the designated place and ride along back alleys so we can avoid heavy traffic. We pass the Sports Recereation Park Saraj, just at the West edge of Skopje. From there we ride on a village road, on the right side of Treska River, and pass the fields and houses of the villages Krušopek, Grčec and Šiševo. From Šiševo on we go over two bridges to cross Treska River and then get to the main asphalt road. Within minutes, we’ll get to the Canyon Matka. We stop to see the Monastery of St Mother of God, a 14th century church and monastery. Then we continue to ride to the dam, and the Matka accumulation lake. We end at the church of St. Andreja, and the accumulation lake Matka. There, at the lake, there is a restaurant where you can sit and have a break. From that point, there are walking paths and boat tours at availability if you want to go.

I have bicycles with helmets for you. Just pick a date and contact me, I'll arrange a tour that you will like.
