Korab Falls
Корапски Водопад
A mountain waterfall with a drop of about 138 metres below Mount Korab, the highest in North Macedonia and a popular destination for summer off-road trips and hiking.
Korab Falls lies at the foot of Mount Korab, on the northwestern edge of Mavrovo National Park along the North Macedonia–Albania border. The Drboka River plunges over a high cliff here in a drop of about 138 metres. It is the highest waterfall in North Macedonia and among the highest in the Balkans. There is no public transport. Usually you take a 4x4 from the Mavrovo Lake area along gravel mountain roads toward the border zone, then hike about 1 to 2 hours to the base of the falls. It can be combined with the summit of Mount Korab as a day trip. The route crosses alpine meadows and scree slopes, so wear climbing boots, carry plenty of water and a windproof jacket, and go with a local guide or an off-road tour. Since you are near the border, carry your passport. Admission is free.
