GalichicaÂ â€” a high mountain inÂ MacedoniaÂ .Due to the particular natural beauty and characteristic plant and animal life of the forests and woodlands ofÂ Mount Galichica, a larger part of it, on an area of â€‹â€‹22,750 hectares, was declared aÂ national parkÂ in 1958Â .Â Galichica National Park, which is located in the far southwestern part ofÂ MacedoniaÂ , is characterized by its position between the two largest lakes in the country -Â OhridÂ andÂ PrespaÂ .Â It is notable for its branched orography and interesting geomorphological forms such as deep valleys, various karst formations and the groupÂ of Galician lakes.ofÂ glacial originÂ .Â The geographic position of the park is 40Â°59SG 20Â°52E.
The lowest point is the level of Ohrid Lake 695 m.a.s.l.Â and the level of Prespa Lake 850 m.a.s.l., and the highest peak Magaro 2255 m.a.s.l.Â Galichica Mountain has a developed relief with deep valleys and steep slopes towards the two lakes.Â Due to the relief features, the unique massif of Galichica is divided into four separate parts.
The part south of Zli Dol is called Stara Galichica.Â It is the highest and most striking relief part of the national park.Â Its sides are cut off steeply towards the lakes and are furrowed with dry hills that give the mountain an appearance of inaccessibility.Â In its central part, a wide plateau with an altitude higher than 2000 m is formed.Â Almost all surface karst forms are represented on it.Â South of here, the massif continues toÂ Suva GoraÂ inÂ Mala PrespaÂ on the territory of Albania.
To the north of it is the part of Galichica.Â The highest peak Vakoski Gnoj has a central position and a height of 1999 m.Â In this part, the width of the mountain is the smallest (9.75 km).Â The slopes towards Lake Ohrid are steep and similar to those of the previous part, while the eastern slopes descend more gently towards Lake Prespa.Â The plateau in the central part is at a height of about 1400 m.Â and four karst fields are formed on it.
The rest of the Meridian massif is divided into two parts, namely Petrino, which gravitates towards the Ohrid Basin and to the east towards the Prespa Basin.
