Pindus Mountains

Between the plain of Pelagonia and the Prespa basin rises Baba Mountain, crowned by the peak of Pelister. Its steep slopes carry forests of beech and Macedonian pine, while the high ground preserves traces of ancient glaciers. Long streams of broken rock descend the mountainside, and water collects in high glacial lakes. From the slopes, the land falls east toward Bitola and west toward the waters and villages of Prespa.
