The Vevčani Springs are among the rarer springs of North Macedonia, flowing on the eastern slopes of Mount Jablanica above the village of Vevčani, at about 900 metres, near Struga and Lake Ohrid. They are siphon springs whose flow rises and falls almost periodically, and the main spring emerges from the mouth of a cave. A few metres below the main spring, several permanent springs flow that connect with it underground, together reaching about 1,500 litres a second in the wet season. Stone paths and small wooden bridges have been laid among the trees and streams around them, making a shady park where people come to escape the summer heat. The springs are at the top of the village, reached by car or taxi from Struga or Ohrid, and a token fee may be asked at the entrance. Vevčani is also known for its winter carnival, its old stone houses and small restaurants serving local dishes; ask about halal food and alcohol before ordering.
