About this activity

Enjoy an unforgettable boat tour above the springs of the Crn Drim River, one of the most beautiful natural landmarks in the Ohrid region.

These springs are considered the “mother” of Lake Ohrid and among the largest visible spring systems along the lake coast. Since the area is protected and part of Galichica National Park, the cruise is operated with small non-motor boats.

The tour usually lasts around 25 to 30 minutes and offers a close view of underwater and coastal springs, crystal-clear water, and rich natural scenery. The depth reaches around 3.5 meters in some sections, and this ecosystem is important for endemic species and the famous Ohrid trout.

From June to October, visitors can often spot rare small water turtles and other local flora and fauna while gliding quietly through the springs.
