Smolare and Kolesino waterfalls - Strumica

Photography by : Davcevski Mario








Smolare and Kolesino waterfalls are located on the northern slopes of Mount Belasica at altitude of 600 meters in the region of Strumica, Macedonia. Both are located in small villages in which the whole population is engaged in agriculture, so cars are rare in that region. People from that region tried to make sure tourists can find waterfalls by setting "homemade" signs that lead to the waterfalls. If you do not recognize the signs written in Cyrillic, the people are very hospitable and would show you the path.

Maybe you will have a problem with their English language skills but just say "Vodopad" and they will show you the way. Both are located around 20km southwest of Strumica. They can be reached by car, but be careful, the road is quite narrow. Also the last couple of meters must be reached by foot.


The waterfalls are a great place for relaxation and they are still an undiscovered tourist location in Macedonia. There aren’t many people so you can enjoy them very intimately. With my photo safari I’ve learned that people arrange weddings at the falls which is quite a unique place for a wedding. In 2008 there were over 20 weddings from people all over Macedonia, and especially from the east.
Besides weddings they arrange cultural events involving people from Macedonia. So if you want a nice, peaceful place to stroll around and to forget the everyday problems they are great places for you. Also do not forget to take your camera or camcorder because you will want to save the beautiful moments.
