GOSTIVAR

Gostivar is found at an altitude of 530m above sea level, and is located in the upper part of the Poloska Basin. According to one character of Emperor Dusan, the town itself originates from the Middle Ages. The source of the Vardar river is in its surroundings near the village of Vrutok, and its neighbourhood is rich in game. The town is linked by a road leading from Skopje to Debar. A fish pond with Canadian trout is very close to it, while Gostivar is the last town in the Polog Basin. The road leads further to lake Mavrovo, fourth as to its size in Macedonia. The modern road winds along Mt. Vlajnica, rich with woods, beautiful landscape and places where one can stop to view Polog in the foothills of the mountain villages which resemble to a nice mosaic.
Somewhere in the middle of mountain, the road branches off, leading to Kicevo(46km).
