The landscape here offers a strange contrast between vast areas of rice paddies (28,000 ha) and the peaks of the Osogovo (2,251 m) and Plačkovica (1,754 m) mountains. Situated at an altitude of 400 m, Kočani itself is rather "urban" and dynamic. It's famous for its Roma musicians (including the world-famous Kočani Orkestar) and its rice festival at the end of September. But apart from the nearby town of Vinica, the surrounding area is sparsely populated. Although this region has no major sites to visit, it has enough charm for a three- or four-day stay: time to visit the Vinica fortress and museum (little-known but really interesting), to do some hiking around the small ski resort of Ponikva and to dine in good restaurants in the heart of nature.
