During your next trip to Macedonia, our suggestion is for you to visit the town of Krushevo, a perfect weekend getaway destination. You can find this small mountain paradise only 165 km away from the capital of Skopje. It is situated 1.250 meters above sea level, making it the highest town in the Balkans. Krushevo is a mix of nature, tradition, history and culture. Right here you will be surprised by the beauty that is hidden behind every corner.

The snow in Krusevo has brought even more winter landscapes caught on phone cameras by our followers.

In today's postacard we publish photographs from the ski center, the nature surrounding Krusevo, Krusevo architecture, historical sights, local caffees, the streets of the town, sunrise and hotel resorts.

Part of the winter postcard are the following supporters of ours: Biljana Puleska, Dragan Filipov, Iv Jovanova, Cvetanche Stojceska, Petar Begalinoski, Oksana Danailova, Biljana Ristova, Peter Gajdov and Stefanija Petroska.

We’ve talked a lot already about history, culture and architecture in Krusevo, so we think that now is the perfect time to talk about traditional food here. When you travel around Macedonia you should have one thing in mind: everywhere in this country you can find really tasty food. The same is true about Krusevo. Starting with melted cheese in a pot to Krusevska pita (pastry with cheese, spinach or cabbage) and Krusevsko grne ( different kind of cheese mixed with mushrooms, ham and egg, baked in a pot) you can find a wealth of delicious options.

In my opinion, it’s rare for something to live up to lofty expectations. It’s so normal for our first encounter with some place or person to fall short of the mental images we’ve conjured. In America especially, it’s commonplace to exaggerate good qualities and minimize bad ones so you can make your point. To a certain degree, it’s acceptable and even encouraged to partake in grandiose, verbose rhetoric. Naturally, everyone recognizes that and thus Americans quickly learn how to manage expectations. I mention all of this because it’s rather pertinent to my first impressions of Krushevo.

During your trip to Krusevo you will certainly notice the architecture that surrounds you everywhere throughout the city. Our suggestion is to bring your camera with you and just get lost in the narrow streets of the city. Behind every corner you can see some unique house or building.

The birthday of Tose Proeski's, the legendary Macedonian singer who died in a car accident in October of 2007, was marked by a beautiful ceremony this year. It was filled with some of Tose's greatest hits, interpreted by young singers from Krusevo as well as the friend of Tose & Eurovision contestant, famous Macedonian singer Elena Risteska.

The event took place on the 25th of January at the Memorial House Todor Proeski in Krusevo. Fans of Tose from Macedonia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Serbia, and elsewhere gathered to commemorate his birthday & continue to honor his legacy.
