À vélo de Kisela Voda à Usje

Spin out from Kisela Voda, the residential municipality at the foot of Mount Vodno (its name literally means “mineral water”), and weave west on quiet backstreets. The route is an easy 8.7 km with about 60 m of gentle climbing—mostly flat with a couple of small rises. Surfaces are largely asphalt, but expect a short mixed/unknown stretch and a brief track section; it’s fine on most bikes, though slightly wider tires are comfy.

You’ll spend most of the ride on calm roads and living streets, skirting neighborhood life before the surroundings open up toward Usje. Roll in past the village’s industrial edge—Usje is best known for its cement works—and into a quieter settlement with big-sky views across the Vardar valley.

Tips: mind occasional heavy vehicles near the industrial area, and bring a bottle if it’s hot—there aren’t many shops toward the end.
