A cosy and personal location with a historical feeling. Works well in winter times due to floor heating. Associated facilities enable gatherings and possibilities to prepare food. Limited parking space.

Dogs are not allowed in the cemetery. What if the pet cemetery bans humans…

Össeby-Garn's church began to be built during the 13th century. It was named after Garnsviken, This church shows the art of building with stones

Likes the surroundings mainly but also the church. Some distance away, I don't say where or how far away, I found an old well or spring(?).

Stobi

Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.

Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.

The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
