The Monastery of St. Naum was originally established by St. Naum himself in the year 900. St. Naum was a contemporary of St. Clement of Ohrid and one of the disciples of the brothers Cyril and Methodious. The monastery has been one of the leading religious and cultural centers of the Macedonian Christians during the past 11 centuries. Thousands of pilgrims visit the grave of St. Naum who was buried in the monastery. Now, the grave is in a small beautifully frescoed chapel. The position of the monastery on a high cliff above the lake offers a stunning views of the lake and its surroundings. |

The Springs of Black Drim are near the monastery of St. Naum. Forty-five springs make a huge, lake like spring, which flows into Lake Ohrid here, and out at Struga, 30 km across the lake. The cold and clear waters are inhabited by wild ducks, swans, and other birds. A rowboat tour goes to the springs that seem to be a small paradise on Earth. |
