The most beautiful natural sites to discover Kočani

Established in 2012, this ministation (Ски-Центар Пониква) is located south of Osogovo. It extends from 1,300 to 1,650 m above sea level with a chairlift, a tug, 1.3 km of slopes, accommodation and a rental equipment company. The ski conditions are uncertain (the snow cannons have been sabotaged) and, when there is snow, it is crowded on weekends. On the other hand, it is nice in summer for hiking. There is even an airfield using the Kočani road as a runway.

This 4.2 ^km2 artificial lake (Езеро Калиманци) was created on the Bregalnica River in 1969 to irrigate the vast rice fields of the Kočani region and to power a small power plant near the dam to the south. Located at 510 m above sea level, it is 14 km long and about 300 m wide. It is not developed in any way, but one can swim in it in summer (the water is 20 °C then) on the way to Delčevo. In the northern part, the town of Makedonska Kamenica/Македонска Каменица (about 4,000 inhabitants) offers beautiful views of the lake.
