A day in the life of a ranger

Yesterday I was able to go to the park with one of the rangers. It was a nice day. I got to do a lot of hiking, saw the remains of a WWII hospital site, went to an abandon sheep fold, took a nap, hiked to a peak where you can see both lake Ohrid and lake Prespa, and got to see how the logging is done in the park.

The road construction leaves much to be desired, but the logging is really not very evasive. The trees are very selectively cut, a lot of the work is done with horses, and I never saw more then 4 men working at a site at a time. Not the total disaster I was expecting! Plus I got to practice my language all day, which is good. Anyhow, enjoy the photos…
