The project is funded through the Programme for Balanced Regional Development through the Ministry of Local Self-Government, Bureau for Regional Development providing 7.258.333,00 MKD, while the Municipality of Valandovo participates in the project with its own funding of 897.098,00 MKD.
In the frame of the project 5 km long trail was expanded, lit, with lots of urban equipment and information boards. Rest benches have been set up, 4 gazebos have been placed – relaxation pavilions, children’s props, car parks, an open fitness area with exercise elements, an improvised rock climbing cliff and at the monastery more gazebos have been placed.
This project will not only influence the enrichment of tourism offer and tourism development in the region, but will also serve as an example for encouraging tourism in the Municipality and preserving traditional values. By arranging this place, locals will have the opportunity to offer certain catering services, accommodation for visitors, organize sporting activities and events that could provide financial benefit and thus economic development in the South-East planning region.
