Hello dear Steemians,

So a while ago I finally left my house and went to visit the Canyon Matka together with @elihs and @dalz. I have visited it a couple of times since I was a kid, but this time I had my new camera with me and I was able to capture at least some parts of it. I have to say that it is still as beautiful as it was years ago, and I had some awesome time here taking pictures of everything I could till my battery ran out.

"Matka is a canyon located west of central Skopje, Macedonia. Covering roughly 5,000 hectares, Matka is one of the most popular outdoor destinations in Macedonia and is home to several medieval monasteries. The Matka Lake within the Matka Canyon is the oldest artificial lake in the country.

There are ten caves at Matka Canyon, with the shortest in length being 20 metres (65.6 feet) and the longest being 176 metres (577.4 feet). The canyon also features two vertical pits, both roughly extending 35 metres (114.8 feet) in depth."
