Welcome to Sammiana – Macedonian Endless Trail !
The Eastern Wing is now open !
Dear Hikers,
As you may know, Sammiana is a newly established trail that is set to welcome its first visitors in 2025. Therefore, to make it easier for foreign hikers, the Macedonian Endless Trail Association is pleased to offer the following assistance:
Logistical Support: We can arrange transportation to and from the trail, including airport or Skopje city pickups.
Supply Assistance: We can provide advice and help with purchasing essential supplies, and can even assist with obtaining items like gas canisters, trekking poles, and other necessities.
Accommodation Support: We can facilitate communication and reservations with local accommodations.
Emergency Support: We are here to assist in emergency situations.
Forest Movement Permits: During the high fire-risk summer months (typically July 1–15 to August 15–31), the government may restrict forest access. If a ban is implemented, we will assist you in obtaining the necessary (and free) permit.
Please Note: To ensure we can provide the best support, we kindly request that you inform us of your planned visit well in advance, even if you are not entirely sure of your plans, the time and duration of your visit, etc.
Important Considerations:
Sammiana is a trail designed to take you further into the wilderness. Currently, we recommend it primarily for experienced hikers comfortable with wild camping. With the exception of the latter half of I2, all of I3, and the initial segment of I4, the trail is only partially waymarked. Therefore, proficiency in using GPS tracks is essential. Expect sections where the path is faint and GPS navigation will be important. While rare, you may also encounter areas requiring light bushwhacking.
Your Reward: You will have an unforgettable new experience and enjoy solitude on a completely new and unknown trail.
Happy hiking!
