Smolare Waterfall

North Macedonia’s Tallest Natural Wonder

Just a short drive from Koleshino lies Smolare Waterfall, the tallest permanent waterfall in North Macedonia. Towering at 39.5 meters, this spectacular natural feature is tucked within the forests of Mount Belasica near the village of Smolare. Reached by a scenic stone staircase of over 300 steps, the journey to the base of the falls is a rewarding adventure through dense greenery and fresh mountain air. Smolare’s dramatic drop, especially powerful in spring and early summer, makes it a must-see for hikers, eco-tourists, and anyone seeking the grandeur of untouched nature.
