📜 "Entre dos Tierras" 😃 SUBIDÓN: Paisaje, Paseo, Cueva, Parking gratuito, 😩 BAJONAZO: Masificado.

En el sur de Europa, en el secreto oriental donde los europeos occidentales no solíamos poner nuestros índices sobre el mapa, encontramos joyas "ocultas" que brillan a la luz de los ojos curiosos. Esa maravilla que se llama Balcanes, donde montañas se erigen altas y majestuosas mientras son acariciadas por sinuosos ríos, es salpicada por la pureza de Lagos y embalses de aguas Cristalinas. No es casualidad que en tan idílicos paisajes, fueran edificadas numerosas iglesias, santuarios y capillas como la Iglesia de San Andrés, una pequeña pero coqueta edificación, antesala de lo que nos espera. Una presa cruza de orilla a orilla el cañon, abrazando las cantidades de agua suficientes como para poder ser navegadas. Y ese es uno de sus principales reclamos, pasear, ya sea en kayak, barcas de pedales o barcas a motor. Y en esta última opción nos adentramos río arriba convencidos de que el sol que nos golpeaba aún en una mañana de septiembre, no iba a darnos tregua. A la vista de los 40°, acertamos de pleno. Entre las compañias que ofertan un paseo por el lago, una se limita a eso mismo, navegar. La segunda, un poco más cara, incluye en el paseo una parada de 15 minutos, para adentrarse a pie en la Cueva de Vrelo, una de las mas profundas de Europa. Si hemos de ser sinceros, el paseo en barca es relajante pero, la verdad, por la diferencia de precio, no tiene sentido hacerlo si no vas a entrar en la cueva. (Te recomiendo preguntar antes pero, creo que son unos 4-5€ en la primera empresa, la de solo paseo, y 7-9€ en la segunda que encontrarás, la que entra en la cueva). Si en el exterior el calor te aprieta, abrázate al frescor petreo de su interior. Juegos de luces entre agua, estalactitas y estalagmitas. Con suerte, a la vuelta del paseo, en el margen derecho de las montañas, podrás apreciar el Monasterio de San Nicolás Sishevski. Y digo con suerte, porque nosotros fuimos incapaces de verlo. 😅. De todas formas, tienes una segunda opción: caminar hacia el por una senda ladera arriba. Una pequeña recomendación: desde el aparcamiento hasta el lugar donde se encuentran los restaurantes, hay un riachuelo que está preparado para actividades de kayak. Es un buen sitio para relajarte y meter los pies. En nuestro caso llevábamos bocadillos y nos sentamos allí a comer. Pequeños placeres que tiene la...

I don't usually enjoy any destination with throngs of people, but this was well worth while. The canyon is quite beautiful, and we enjoyed the boat ride to the cave. While I recommend the boat ride, there is also a (free) walkway along the side of the canyon that was surprisingly empty, but which does not permit access to the cave.

Tip: I originally considered hiring a cab to do this, but am very glad I saw the canyon as part of the Canyon Matka Tour. The tour was an excellent; well organized and reasonably priced, and driving and parking looked like such a nightmare that I doubt a cab would have taken me anywhere near...

Beautiful and super peaceful if you don’t go during peak hours. We visited early June and arrived at 4:30pm. Rented out a kayak and went up to Vrelo cave. Unfortunately, you are not able to enter the cave if you are not with a specific group (but the kayak rental place obviously does not tell you this so you rent with them for a longer period of time). Took about an hour each way to the cave if you are wanting to go and try your luck. Otherwise, super peaceful being in the canyon nonetheless. You can also opt to hike along the canyon. There is a well marked path and this is equally as beautiful. No entrance fee.

Lake Matka is a must-visit for nature lovers. The lush greenery and natural views are stunning, and you will be mesmerized by the serene atmosphere. Take the #60 Bus from a central Mall to get there. It's recommended to avoid taxis due to scams. Visit early in the morning and stay until late evening. There are plenty of coffee shops, bars, fresh juice stalls, and good restaurants to keep you fueled up. A boat tour is a must-do activity to fully appreciate the beauty of the lake. Overall,
