Lakeside Cycle Path on Lake Ohrid

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

An (extremely narrow) cycle path leads west along Lake Ohrid between the main road and the lake shore to the peninsula near Lin.
After looking at the beautiful Pogradec waterfront, including an idyllic coffee break, we cycle to the campsite (Erlin Beach) on the southern side of the peninsula in front of Lin.
The tour is not particularly beautiful, although the natural Lake Ohrid is a feast for the eyes. However, we can only really enjoy it at the foot of the peninsula in front of Lin. It is the deepest freshwater lake in Europe, because it lies in an extremely deep fissure in the earth - only Lake Baikal in Siberia is deeper and larger. Just like Lake Baikal, Lake Ohrid is home to an endemic species of trout - strangely enough here called "Koran".

Pogradec Park – View of Lake Ohrid

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's quite nice there. The park also has a few benches to sit down on and maybe enjoy your biker breakfast.

Lake Ohrid is the second largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula and one of the oldest in the world. To kick off our cycling trip through Albania, a short bike tour takes us along its shore to the town of Pogradec, not far from the border with North Macedonia.
