A Hiking Trail At The Canyon. Starts at the hotel and probably ends opposite the Vrelo Cave.
We are back after about 2 thirds (for the sake of my wife) Üd went on a boat trip. There is no other way to reach the cave. The path is sometimes not without danger. Missing railings etc. But an amazing view.

Beautiful view from the hiking trail above the reservoir. But the path ends in nowhere.

Unfortunately the path ends here on this iron X even if you notice that it continues but with evident carelessness and greater danger. The sad and annoying thing is that the cave is on the opposite bank and it would have been nice to have even just a Tibetan bridge between the two banks so that, after completing the path, you can visit the cave and then choose whether to return to the dam on foot or by boat.

Vrelo Cave

Highlight • Cave

Located on the right bank of the Treska River, Vrelo Cave was listed as one of the top 77 natural sites in the world in the New7Wonders of Nature project.
Vrelo Cave has many stalactites including a large one in the middle of the cave known as the "Pine Cone" due to its shape. There are two lakes at the end of the cave, with one larger than the other. The smaller lake is 8 metres (26.2 feet) at its longest length and 15 metres (49.2 feet) in depth at its deepest point. The larger lake is 35 metres (114.8 feet) at its longest length, and 18 metres (59 feet) at its deepest point.

We took a nice boot tour through Matka Canyon to go to this cave.
