Lake Ohrid

Macedonia / Ohrid /
 lake, UNESCO World Heritage Site

Lake Ohrid straddles the mountainous border between the southwestern region of Macedonia and eastern Albania. It is probably the oldest lake in Europe, preserving a unique aquatic ecosystem with more than 200 endemic species that is of worldwide importance. The importance of the lake was further emphasized when it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1979. However, human activity on the lake shores and in its catchment area is resulting in the ecosystem coming under stress.
