Cave Church of St. Archangel Michael, Radožda
Пештерна црква Св. Архангел Михаил
A cave church in the cliffs above Radožda village on the west shore of the lake, with 13th-century frescoes and a breathtaking view over the lake from the cliff edge
Radožda is a lakeside village on the west shore, right next to the Albanian border, known for its lake-fish restaurants. The cave church sits on a cliff above the village, and you climb steep stone steps and a walkway for about 10 minutes to reach it. The cave preserves 13th- and 14th-century frescoes. Entry is free (the small door to the church is often locked, so ask in the village). It is about 13 km from Struga, reached by car or taxi, and you can have grilled fish by the lake for lunch.
