MONASTÈRE DE SLEPČE
Isolated at an altitude of 914 m, this beautiful Orthodox monastery (Слепченски Манастир/Slepčenski Manastir) enjoys a superb natural setting, beneath Mount Bigla (1,322 m). Dedicated to St. John the Baptist, it is said to have been founded in the5th century and enjoyed a period of splendor in the 9th century under the rule of St. Clement of Ohrid. Today, most of the buildings date from the 16th century, and few of the old frescoes remain. But it's a good place for shopping: the monks produce and sell honey, cheese, cured meats, cider vinegar, jams and more.
