Wir, 4 Bergwanderer aus Deutschlad, hatten eine tolle Woche in Nordmazedonien. Jonche, unser Guide, verstand es stets das richtige Tempo vorzugeben und uns mit seinem großen Wissen über Land, Leute und Geschichte zu informieren. Nordmazedonien ist eines der schönsten Wanderziele, die ich bisher kennengelernt habe.
