The Demir Kapija Canyon is the largest climbing site in North Macedonia, with a rich variety of sport, trad, and multi-pitch routes. Access is easy, the views are beautiful, the people are friendly, and the local food is extremely delicious. 

The wide range of route difficulty categories, between 4a and 8c, makes the site extremely suitable for climbers of all abilities and levels of fitness, and the choice between sport, trad, and multi-pitch routes means there is something to suit all preferences.

Are you ready to look down on the Vardar River from above, give it your all, and enjoy an epic adventure just a stone's throw from Bulgaria's southwestern border?
