AIRE PROTÉGÉE DE MALEŠEVO

Created in 2021, this protected area (Заштитен Предел Малешево/Zaštiten Predel Maleševo) covers 115 ^km2 along the Bulgarian border, between the municipalities of Berovo, Pehčevo and Delčevo. Managed by the national forestry office and the private company Pharmachem, it is home to oak and beech forests. However, in the face of opposition from local forestry companies, tourist facilities have been slow to develop. However, the Spikovski waterfalls are within easy reach.
