Travel Guide Bansko

This spa resort is located on the flanks of the Belasica mountain, 12 km east of Strumica towards the Bulgarian border. The remains of Roman thermal baths attest to an activity that continues until the second half of the th century. Very hot mineral waters (72 ° C) are used for both thermal and vegetable cultivation.Cascade waterfall. To discover the highest waterfalls in Macedonia (35 m!), you have to leave Strumica towards the east towards Bulgaria and shortly after the village of Novo Selo, turn right towards Smolari. In the village, at the level of the first road on the right, a carved wood sign indicates "Vodopad" (waterfall). Follow this path to the last houses of the village. The rest of the journey is on foot, through a beautiful beech forest and chestnut forest. Once crossed, on a makeshift bridge, a wide but shallow creek, we are led by a forest road to a 400 m built staircase, which leads to a wooden footbridge from which one can admire the waterfall. The show is superb! Provide a wide angle for the photo that is needed.
