It is one of Europe´s deepest and oldest lakes, with a unique aquatic ecosystem of worldwide importance, with more than 200 endemic species.

North Macedonia´s side of Lake Ohrid was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, with the site being extended to also include the cultural and historic area of Ohrid in 1980. In 2010, NASA named one of Titan´s lakes after it. In 2014, the Ohrid-Prespa Transboundary Reserve between Albania and North Macedonia was added to UNESCO´s World Network of Biosphere Reserves.[10] Albania’s side of Lake Ohrid was also designated UNESCO world heritage status in 2019." - (en.wikipedia.org 22.09.2020)
