HOTEL SATELIT
Located on top of a hill, 485 m above sea level, this monument (Спомен Костурница Зебрњак/Spomen Kosturnica Zebrnjak) has dominated the entire plain northeast of Kumanovo since 1937. It houses the (clearly visible) bones of about 400 Serbian soldiers who died during the Battle of Kumanovo on October 23-24, 1912. This decisive confrontation of the First Balkan War provoked a vast retreat of the Ottomans. The ossuary originally consisted of a stone tower 48.5 m high. This was knocked down by the Bulgarian army in 1942.
