Gratche Waterfall – a waterfall located on Osogovo mountain, along the Velika Reka river, about 1 km from Gratche lake. In 1958, an auxiliary dam made of stone blocks was built on Velika Reka, which aimed to prevent the sudden flow of water to the village of Ramna Skala, where the main dam was being built. With the accumulation of branches, stones and earth, the auxiliary dam began to fill with soil, and over time a waterfall was created. The waterfall is 12 m high and is about 1 km from the mouth of the Velika Reka river in Lake Gratche.
Beli Monastery – a monastery in the eastern part of Macedonia, on Mount Osogovo, near the village of Beli. The foundations for the construction of the monastery were laid in 1964, and it is believed that there was a monastery in that place in the past. In 2011, an asphalt road was built next to the monastery, and the area was decorated with benches and other contents.
The monastery includes a church, ancillary buildings, summerhouses, a well and an old oak tree.
Saint Ilija Church
The church has a rectangular base with a semi-circular apse on the east side, and in front of the main entrance on the west side, a vestibule has been added. The interior of the church has not been photographed.
The Old Oak
In the courtyard of the monastery, there is an oak of the species of Blaguni (Quercus pubescens), which is considered to be about 680 years old, making it one of the oldest representatives of this species in the region, and it is protected by law as a monument of nature. The oak is 19 m tall and has a trunk circumference of 5.9 m. In October 2019, the oak was declared a natural rarity.
