Top Ohrid Mountain Bike Tours

The goal of this tour is to cycle around the lake of Ohrid, which is 94 km long! I encountered a dozen different idyllic (fishing) villages, ancient historical remains, and pure nature in 2 countries, North-Macedonia and Albania. On the road, many photo stops and breaks will be made, for example, in the National Park of Galicica, Lin, Pogradec, Radozda, Struga, and many more, where you will have the chance to make astonishing pictures. Your adventure starts in the city of Ohrid at 09:00, where your e-bike and gear are waiting. Bike until you reach the Albanian border and arrive in the town of Pogradec, where you will take a break and enjoy your lunch. From Pogradec, cycle back to North Macedonia. After passing the border again, you will go via Struga to the starting point in Ohrid, where your transfer will bring you back to your accommodation. 

This is a half-day tour that takes you to the town of Struga riding along the north-east coast of Lake Ohrid. You will have an opportunity to have lunch enjoying the view of river Crn Drim in the center of Struga, buy some local goods from the open market and visit Nezlobinski Museum – the unique presenter of the natural and cultural heritage of the region of Lake Ohrid – UNESCO, with over 10,000 examples of flora and stuffed fauna from the Ohrid and Prespa region. After just 5 km riding south from Struga, you will arrive in the village Kalishta and have a chance to see the rare icon "Black Madonna" in the Monastery complex.

This remarkable occasion let you discover the rural area of the region Ohrid & Struga by bike. With help of a local guide, you will make a 35 km. route. From the starting point in Ohrid you will bike into the mountains until you reach the tiny lake of the almost abended village of Trebenista. Here you can enjoy the natural view, while enjoying your lunch box to regain your strength. Afterwards you’ll be heading towards the city of Struga. This will be done via adventurous off-road trails and asphalt roads. Here you will have the opportunity to relax and absorb the city of the poets and bridges. Via the old road located next to the lake of Ohrid, you will reach the city of Ohrid. During this tour plenty of breaks and photo stops will be made.

On this bike tour, you will cycle around the western coast or Albanian side of Lake Ohrid. This 6-hour-guided tour will give you the opportunity to visit the village of Lin, part of the Pogradec district, which is known for its traditional architecture of houses and grapevines shadows of alleys during summer and autumn. A few miles from Tushemisht, you will enjoy nature at the park and the springs of Drilon. The last cycling destination on this tour will be St. Naum Monastery complex on the Macedonian site.
