"There is a National park on the Macedonian side of the mountain, situated between the two biggest lakes in the republic: Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa. It stretches over an area of 227 square kilometres (88 mi²).
The floral life in the Galicica National Park represents over 1000 species, of which a large number of relicts and endems have the final frontier of its range exactly on the mountain Galicica. There is characteristically presence of up to now 11 discovered local endems to be found exclusively on the slopes of Galicica and nowhere else, this illustrates the specifically floristic composition of this mountain. At the moment, it is intensively worked on the flora of the National Park and there are indications that the number of endems will be even bigger.
Beautiful views across the lakes and neighbouring mountains can be seen from the Galicica peaks. The highest is peak Magaro (2,254 m)."
