Kaimaktsalan, Mountain summit at Florina Municipality, Greece and Novaci Municipality, North Macedonia

The granite mountain reaches an elevation of 2528 meters and forms a natural border between Greece and North Macedonia, with expansive territories on both sides.

Serbian forces achieved victory against Bulgarian troops during the Battle of Kaimaktsalan in September 1916, marking a significant World War I engagement.

The Saint Peter Orthodox chapel at the summit contains a memorial crypt dedicated to Serbian soldiers who lost their lives in military conflicts.

The Mount Voras ski center provides 14 tracks of varying difficulty levels, including dedicated areas for snowboarding and snow tubing activities.

The mountain's name originates from Ottoman Turkish, where 'kaymakçalan' refers to clotted cream, possibly reflecting the snow-covered appearance of the peak.
