Radika Valley
A deep valley cutting through the national park, along which the A2 road winds, linking monasteries, waterfalls and mountain villages.
The Radika River rises on Mount Korab and flows south through the national park to join the Black Drin, with steep slopes and beech and oak forests on both sides. It is the main route from Mavrovo to Debar. Driving along the river road offers superb scenery, and stops along the way include Bigorski Monastery, Rostuše village, Duf Waterfall and the turn-offs to Galičnik and Janče. In summer you can paddle in the river and fish for trout, and autumn foliage is best. The road is narrow with many bends, so watch for falling rocks in rain or snow.
