Skakalo is the mountain peak of Shar Planina, in the northwestern part of the Republic of Macedonia. It is an integral part of Shar Mountain and its height is 2,494 meters. At its foot is the glacial (glacial) Skakali Lake.

Skakalichko Lake is one of the 27 natural glacial (glacial) lakes on the Shar Mountain. It is located at an altitude of 2258 meters at the foot of Skakalo peak, after which the entire surrounding area and Shara ridge are named. The lake has a depth of about 1.60 meters. The water is transparent, clear and impeccably clean but quite cold. The bottom of the lake is completely composed of silt and sand, so due to its small depth, the lake looks and has a white color from afar, which is why it is also called Jezeri i Bardh (White Lake) by the local Albanian population. Right above the lake there is a strong and cold spring, and the Skakalicka River flows out of the lake, which is a left tributary of Pena and flows into its upper source area between the Babasanica and Rafsha areas above the village of Bozovce.
