Macedonia is definitely the best country for learning to paraglide in thermal conditions.Low, gently rolling mountains covered in forests create soft, wide air currents that will easily and unobtrusively carry you on your first cross-country flights. Wide, flat valleys offer kilometers of soft landings in any wind, no matter which direction you fly. The ideal, gently rolling grassy takeoff is 200 meters wide, carpeted, with an800-meter elevation above a huge landing with a lone oak tree – a landmark within line of sight.The cozy resort town of Krushevo, located at an altitude of 1,200 meters, is full of hotels and restaurants with very friendly people. The simple, hearty village cuisine will satisfy vegetarians, meat lovers, and fish lovers alike. Shopska salad with the most delicate feta cheese, pastyrmka na skara, telesheka chorba, mala and golema makedonka… And what wonderful local wine!For lovers of easy mountain hikes, Macedonia is also a paradise—you can eat blackberries and swim in the lake along the way.
