However, human activity on the lake shores and in its catchment area is resulting in the ecosystem coming under stress.

It's so beautiful! The whole area has a calming effect. Great lakeside restaurants with fresh seafood. Great guesthouses and hotels all around the lake. Lots of opportunities for a boat/cruise ride on the lake. A must see if you're in the area.

I was in Ohrid in may '09 and city was without mass of tourist. And we take a tour on Lake Ohrid with small boat n it's was great view - on the one hand mountains with snow on summit, on the other hand so so so big lake :)

The palce is worth seeing and spending some 3-4 days. After some longer time it's getting soooo boring. But, for those who love clear water and mountains the place is like heaven ;)
