Jakupica range
Jakupica or Mokra is a mountain range in the central part of North Macedonia. The headwaters of the Axios river, mentioned by Homer as the home of the Paeonians allies of Troy, spring from its flanks.Geography
The highest peak is Solunska Glava. Other significant peaks are: Karadžica, Popovo Brdo, Ostar Breg, Ubava, Ostar Vrv, and Dautica. The mountain range can be easily approached from the capital Skopje, or from the town of Veles and many villages in the area. On clear days, from the peak Solunska Glava, one can see the city of Thessaloniki in Greece.Environment
The relief is criss-crossed by numerous clear and fast mountain rivers. Large areas are covered with beech, oak, and conifer forests. There are also obvious traces of the primeval glaciation from the diluvial period. A number of institutions have been recommending this area as a national park. A 19,600 ha area of the mountain range has been designated an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it supports populations of golden eagles, yellow-billed choughs, wallcreepers and alpine accentors.
