# Galičica trails (https://galicica.finereli.com)

> Every marked trail in Galičica National Park (Галичица, also spelled Galicica or Galichica), North Macedonia, between Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa. All 38 numbered trails (H easier, T harder, G ridges above 1,600 m, MTB bike) with maps, elevation profiles and free GPX, GeoJSON and KML downloads, plus the park's 10 suggested day routes.

Key facts:
- Free, no account, no ads. Open data and open source: https://github.com/finereli/galicica-trails
- Source: the park's own web trail map (NP Galičica), archived by the Wayback Machine in October 2020, after the park's site lost the map. Cross-checked against OpenStreetMap (agrees within 50 m where both exist). G-6 uses OSM.
- Trail codes match the park's signposts and guideposts.
- Lines were drawn by hand by the park, not GPS-recorded; expect 20 to 50 m error. Conditions are as of 2020.
- All trails in one GPX: https://galicica.finereli.com/gpx/galicica-all-trails.gpx (works in AlpineQuest, OsmAnd, Gaia GPS, Locus, Organic Maps, Garmin)
- Recommended phone app: Organic Maps (https://organicmaps.app), free and open source, works offline (no signal on most of the mountain). Download the North Macedonia map on wifi, then open a trail's GPX with Organic Maps.
- GeoJSON: https://galicica.finereli.com/data/galicica-trails.geojson   KML: https://galicica.finereli.com/data/galicica-trails.kml
