Lake Ohrid is a large and ancient lake located on the border between North Macedonia and Albania. It is one of the oldest and deepest lakes in Europe, with a maximum depth of over 300 meters. The lake is known for its clear, blue waters and its high level of biodiversity, with over 200 endemic species.

The town of Ohrid, located on the eastern shore of the lake, is a popular tourist destination due to its historical and cultural significance. The town has a number of notable landmarks, including the Church of St. Sophia, the Church of St. John at Kaneo, and the Church of St. Clement and Panteleimon, which is considered one of the most important medieval monuments in the Balkans.

In 1979, Lake Ohrid and the town of Ohrid were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to their outstanding natural and cultural value. The site is considered to be one of the best-preserved and most important examples of a medieval town in the Balkans. The lake and surrounding areas also provide important habitats for a wide range of plant and animal species, making it an important site for conservation efforts.
