Macedonia, a hidden gem in the Balkans, boasts natural beauty that offers therapy for modern life’s stresses. With its tranquil yet powerful nature, the Macedonian mountains provide refuge for those seeking peace, balance, and distance from urban pressures.

Green therapy, including nature walks, hiking, and forest meditation, is a proven tool for improving mental and physical health, and Macedonia offers numerous opportunities for this. From Shar Planina’s peaks to Jakupica’s forests, visitors find both stunning views and spiritual renewal.

Globally recognized, green therapy is practiced worldwide. In Japan, “forest bathing” has long been a cultural and therapeutic activity, reducing stress and improving well-being. The NHS in Great Britain actively recommends parks and forest trails for depression and anxiety. Similar programs exist in the USA, Sweden, Germany, and Canada, where doctors prescribe outdoor activities for better health.

Macedonia’s mountains, often overlooked as therapeutic destinations, offer a safe haven for stress relief and natural balance.

SKOPSKO beer emphasizes the importance of preserving these natural reserves through its campaign “Our pride, but also our responsibility,” urging care for the Macedonian mountains. A portion of proceeds from glass-bottled SKOPSKO products goes towards protecting this natural heritage, with SKOPSKO stating that every investment in this initiative is a step towards long-term conservation.
