Maleshevska + Vlainska Mountain

Maleshevska Mountain – a medium-high mountain range in the eastern part of the Republic of Macedonia and Pirin Macedonia (today in Bulgaria). They belong to the massive mountains of the Rhodope massif. The length of the main ridge is 32 km, and the area of ​​the mountain is 315 km2. The ridges are rounded, without a clear definition and protrusion of the ridge, and the highest peaks are Jami Tepe (1,801 m) and Chengino Kale (1,748 m), which represents the easternmost point of the territory of the Republic of Macedonia. Bregalnica and Ratevska Reka are deeply cut into the old Paleozoic rocks — sometimes almost canyon-like. The herbs are bare, and the mountain sides are covered with beech and oak forest.

Vlainska Mountain with the highest peak Kadiica and Maleshevska Planina can be considered as part of Maleshevko-Vlainska mountain massif.

The geological composition is represented by crystalline schists, and in the lower parts towards the Berovska Kotlina, they are covered with neogene sediments. Part of the Macedonian-Bulgarian border passes through the ridge of the mountain. On the highest parts is the source of the river Bregalnica, where there are also several waterfalls, which are a tourist attraction due to their beauty.
