  • An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short Description of the Region
    An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short description of the region Located in the north-western corner of Greece at 850 metres above sea level and surrounded by mountains, the Prespa Lakes region is a natural park of great significance due to its biodiversity and endemic species. Prespa is a trans boundary park shared between Greece, Albania and FYR Macedonia. It only takes a few moments for the receptive visitor to see that they have arrived at a place with its own unique personality. Prespa is for those who love nature and outdoor activities all year round. This is a place to be appreciated with all the senses, as if it had been designed to draw us in, and remind us that we, too, are a part of nature. Prespa is a place where nature, art and history come together in and around the Mikri and Megali Prespa lakes; there are also villages with hospitable inhabitants, always worth a stop on the way to listen to their stories and the histories of the place. The lucky visitor might share in the activities of local people’s daily life, which are all closely connected to the seasons of the year. These activities have, to a large extent, shaped the life in Prespa. The three main traditional occupations in the region are agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing. There are a lot of paths, guiding you into the heart of nature; perhaps up into the high mountains, or to old abandoned villages, which little by little are being returned once more to nature’s embrace.

    This project is funded by the European Union Description of the Biking trail This bike trail will allow you to meet a part of the Prespa region, with its authentic villages that fortunately still have preserved the original architecture and look. The Prespa region is characterized by the rivers that pass through the rural areas and the agriculture development (farming, livestock, beekeeping, fruit production, etc.) from which people exist. The bike trail is marked with wooden road signs and its total length is 30 km with 300 m elevation. This trail is included in the category of medium-easy path suitable for beginners. 10 km of the trail is an asphalt road and 20 km off road. The first part of the trail will provide you with a fascinating view of Prespa Lake, passing through several villages. The starting and ending point of the trail is the village Brajcino, which is located at 1000 meters above sea level below the slopes of Baba Mountain. Beech and Oak forest give special splendor to this village. The numerous streams, merging each other near the village, create Brajcino River, and with its picturesque valley, splits the village of Gorno Maalo (its left side) and Dolno Maalo (its right side). The trail continues through the village Ljubojno and v. Dolno Dupeni and then to the village Nakolec passing through apple plantation. The Krani Camp is the next destination where the bike trail passes and continues to the most distant point, the beach Slivnica and the Coca Auto Camp where you can take a rest and recreation on the beach.The end point of the trail is village Brajcino, where you will ride through the same route backward to the village of Nacelec and then proceeds directly to the village Ljubojno and ending in v.

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.

  • “Notes and Studies of Prespa in the Branislav Rusic Archoves at The
    “Notes and Studies of Prespa in the Branislav Rusiќ Archives at the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and the Arts” Branislav Rusiќ was a member of the first post-war generation of Macedonian ethnographers who set the groundwork for ethnographic studies of Macedonia. His family originated from the village of German in Lower Prespa, now in Aegean Macedonia. He was born in the village of Tomino in the Poreč region, he received his primary and secondary education in Prilep, Kruševac and in Bitola, and in 1937 received a degree in ethnography from Belgrade University. He received his doctorate from Zagreb University in 1951. From 1939 to 1946 he worked at the State Archives and at the Ethnographic museum in Belgrade. In 1946 he moved to the newly established university in Skopje, where he formed a group on Ethnology, which he lead until 1958. From 1958 to the end of his life in 1971 he was a professor of Ethnography in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. He was concurrently in charge of the division on folk costumes at the Folklore Institute in Skopje. Rusiќ’s greatest contribution to the ethnographic study of Macedonia is undoubtedly his extensive field research of every part of the country, either alone early in his career, or on field studies with his students in later years. He began his field research as a student in 1934 as a student at Belgrade University. There is hardly a village in Macedonia that escaped a study by Rusiќ, though his most voluminous studies were concentrated mostly in the regions of Poreč, Železnik, Debarce, Struga, Ohrid, Prespa, Slavište, Pijanec, Delčevo, Osogovia and Capari.

Using leaf baits of Prunus laurocerasus and selective V8 Agar (PARPNH), 19 pure Phytophthora sp. cultures were isolated and identified as P. cactorum by ITS sequencing. Sixteen isolates were from apple trees and 3 from chestnut trees. Phylogenetic analyses suggested slight distance between P. cactorum isolates originating from chestnut trees compared to those from apple orchards. Assessment of pathogenicity using chestnuts twigs showed no differences be- tween P. cactorum isolates from the two tree host species.

  • Creating Touristic Itinerary in the Region of Prespa Abstract
    International Journal of Academic Research and Reflection Vol. 4, No. 7, 2016 ISSN 2309-0405 CREATING TOURISTIC ITINERARY IN THE REGION OF PRESPA M.Sc. Ema MUSLLI, PhD Candidate University of Tirana ABSTRACT The Prespa Region is located on the Balkan Peninsula, between the countries of Albania, Macedonia and Greece. It includes Greater Prespa Lake and the surrounding beach and meadow areas, designated agricultural use areas and the towns of Pustec, Resen and Prespes. This region is now a part of the Trans-Boundary Biosphere Reserve ‘Ohrid-Prespa Watershed. Greater and Lesser Prespa lakes plus Ohrid Lake are included in the UNESCO world Heritage Site. This area has been known historically for its diverse natural and cultural features. Prespa Region is currently covered by Prespa National Parks in Albania and Greece and Galichica and Pelisteri National Parks in Macedonia. The natural environment and the cultural heritage are a key element designated for the development of the region’s sustainable tourism. This study was enhanced via the Geographic Info System (GIS) digital presentation showing the opportunities for nature tourism in the Pustec and Resen commune. The article also includes two touristic itineraries that will help a better promotion of the tourism in the Prespa Region. Keywords: Touristic potential, cultural heritage, nature heritage, touristic itineraries. INTRODUCTION The Greater Prespa Watershed is located in the southeastern region of Albania and in the southwestern part of Macedonia, in the region of Korçë, commune of Pustec in the Albanian part, in the Resen commune in the Macedonian part and in the Prespe commune in Greece.

  • Antartiko - Prespes
    COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN LTD West Axis at limits of Region of Western Macedonia – Design for the Improvement of Road Florina – Antartiko - Prespes The project is about the improvement of the National Road from the Northern City of Florina to the Prespa Lakes Area, a highly touristic site of Northern Greece. The total road length is about 56 Km and the length designed by this project is about 26Km. High Mountain elevations between 750m and 1500m above sea level with very steep slopes and very deep ravines. To this extremely rugged terrain with granite subsoils there will be constructed 17 Valley bridges and an Cut&Cover and this is the subject of the Structural Design of the project. All bridges are precast – prestressed concrete beam structures of total lengths between 80m and 130m. The precast beams are transferred in situ and raised to be placed on the high piers and abutments. They are circular in plan with relatively small radius (95Μ to 140Μ) and have a longitudinal slope of about 6%. The overall width of the deck including the pavements is about 13.00m. They have a single traffic surface with one lane on each direction and barriers on each side. Expansion joints are provided at the abutments. The structural continuity of the deck along the length is provided with a continuity deck slab through the piers. Each pier consists of a pair of circular hollow columns of reinforced concrete and a cap beam on top of each pier which supports the upper structure resting on anchored laminated elastomeric bearings. At both bridge ends, transition slabs in conjunction with the abutments and the abutment wing walls form the transitional backfill.
