Last weekend was perfect for trekking around Galichnik. The warm weather melted most of the snow on Bistra and allowed the first flowers to blossom among the green grass. These weather conditions were irresistible for Goran, Viktor, Lile, Aleksandar and Velimir, so they decided to take advantage to visit Karbula peak, one of the most interesting locations in Galichnik region.

To make the trek more interesting, instead of using the standard and fastest trails to reach the peak, they chose a longer route, starting from the old sqare, then through Ukalen, Kofilkovica, Kraishta, Zla Strana, and finally Karbula’s southern rocky ridge – real bait for mountaineers and great way for burning calories. 
 
In addition, here are some of the photos from this tour.

According to the recent data of the agency for real estate cadaster, the area of Galichnik is measured to almost 64 km2. Compared with the areas of the rest of the villages in Mavrovo-Rostushe municipality and wider, Galichnik’s is by far the largest. The reason for this large “given” ground, should be looked for in the past when Galichnik represented the main economic center in the region between the cities Gostivar, Debar and Kichevo. 
 
 
 
According to the AREC-GIS portal, the actual borders of the Galichnik’s area are shown on a map, where can be clearly noticed that most of them are the same as before. The area stretches to:
- west – Radika, Smedovica, Kokosharnik, Skala, Kofilkovica, Kraishta, Zla Strana, Karbula;

Where is Galichnik?
Written by Kjeaja   
Uniqueness of Galichnik as a name of a populated place is expressed through the example of the immigrant workers sending telegrams where they only needed to state the destination simply as "Galichnik", without a region, country or continent, and the telegram would be received without any problems. However if we look more into historical details, we can find an information which luckily maybe was unknown to the postal services.
 
 
Location of the "two Galichniks"
 
It is about the ancient settlement Galichnik (known also as Galeshnik), which is located on the Hvar island, near the small town Jelsa, today's Croatia. Only the remains of the former fortress town which was alse functioning through the middle ages as well, can be found today. That archaeological site is known as Grad and is a subject of archaeological examines.

With the first snowfalls this autumn, the question of whether in the following winter period an efforts will be made for maintaining the road between Mavrovo and Galichnik, is again actualized. For a long time the local community prepares a strategy for reviving of Galichnik during the winter months by making the first big step this month - buying a bulldozer for snow clearance which will be used primarily for the needs of the natives and the tourists.

Tribute to Drnkov

On the last day of January, Blagoja Drnkov, one of the founders of Macedonian art of photography, left this world. He left calmly, with many years on his shoulders. His photos survived his 98 years of passing the beauties of his homeland from his camera's perspective to the public. Definitely, that is very important heritage for whole Macedonia.

In search for different topics for photographing and documenting, Drnkov often visited Galichnik and the surroundings. With his photos of the nature, cultural landmarks and the people with their customs, he helped the affirmation of this whole region. One of his masterpieces, the photo of the Galichnik wedding in 1939, can be still viewed in the hotel "Turist" in Galichnik.
 
People from Galichnik sometimes expressed their constant gratitude towards him. One such example was Drnkov's exhibition in 1993, helped by their organizations. Let this text be viewed as such example as well. We hope that it will not be the last. And we will finish it with several photos from this master with topics from Galichnik.
