MONT BÉLÈS

This massif is about 60 km long and starts south of Strumica and extends eastward into Greece and Bulgaria. It is called Belasica/Беласица in Macedonian and Bulgarian and Belles/Μπέλλες in Greek. At the junction of the three countries is Mount Tumba, at 1,881 m above sea level, about 26 km southeast of Strumica as the crow flies. But the highest point is Mount Kerkini/Radomir, at 2,031 m above sea level, a little further east, on the Greek-Bulgarian border. In Northern Macedonia, the massif separates the region of Strumica from the lake Dojran. A path allows to connect the two.
