Introducing New Picnic Shelters for the Summer Season

Introducing New Picnic Shelters for the Summer Season

To avoid sounding like we're complaining about the end of winter and the snow melting, we've decided to share the story of "Staro Balicho" – the famous hideaway located at the Mavrovo Ski Center, with you weekly.

This place operates all year round. For Daniel, the person who spoke with the Kajak.mk team, Staro Balicho is a place that, if you visit it in summer, will make you wish for winter to come so you can enjoy skiing, while if you visit it in winter, you'll want summer to arrive so you can enjoy riding electric bikes.


It might sound confusing, but "Staro Bachilo" knows how to make the most of every moment of the year and offer something in line with the season.

"Staro Bachilo" is run by a relatively young team that has been at Mavrovo for almost three years in a row.

Until this winter, we were running the well-known pizzeria "Ski School," and our love for the mountains encouraged us to stay through the summer, starting this new story with the famous hospitality of the bachilo, says Daniel.


The bachilo will have a very unique working concept. The idea is for this place to offer a new concept of a picnic, serving traditional food consisting of pies, meat, local cheeses, and yellow cheeses. From their previous work with "Ski School," they have managed to organize many "gatherings" with food from recognizable restaurants that prepare sushi, cocktails, burgers, and sandwiches, explains Daniel.

He says that they are in constant cooperation with Resort Mavrovo, through which they organize mountain biking tours with electric bicycles, and they often invite sports associations that hold training sessions, seminars, and lectures related to active tourism.

What makes Bačilo attractive are the many ways you can visit it. There are several options: The first and simplest option is by cable car, which operates during the summer period; the second option is by bicycle; then there’s hiking, or for adrenaline lovers, you can also visit by motocross.

The team at Kajak.mk hopes that this example of picnic hideaways will be followed by many other mountain excursion spots, contributing to the development of active tourism in Macedonia.
