Kriva Palanka is a town located in the northeastern part of the Republic of Macedonia.
It is the seat of the municipality of the same name.
The town is situated at the northern foot of the Osogovo Mountains on both banks of the Kriva River and its tributary of the Thracian River in the Slavovishte region.
2 – 3 km. from the town is the Osogovo Monastery.
At the beginning of the 20th century Kriva palanka is a mixed Bulgarian-Turkish town in the Ottoman Empire.
In the city you can see the stark contrasts between old buildings and modern buildings, narrow streets with small shops and renovated park area along the Kriva River.
It must be a wonderful city…..
Like any city in the Balkans has its history…
Thanks for post. Are you from Macedonia?
No, from Bulgaria, but occasionally I visit for a day or two the neighboring countries.
Thanks a lot for posting. Something new is learned.

I’m not strong in writing, so I’m taking pictures 🙂
I was in that town and visited the monastery of St. Joakim Osogovski.It’s one of the most beautiful monasteries I’ve ever seen.It has about 14,500 inhabitants.94.5% are Macedonians, 4.5% are Gypsies, 0.60% are Serbs..The rest are Turks, Vlachs, Bosnians.The city could be better organized, but it has a beautiful natural environment.
With the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Macedonia is the poorest republic in the federation. This country has existed since at 1991 and will still develop, which I wish for it with all my heart!
I think that the Macedonians would not agree with you that they exist since 1991.But I agree with you that the country is poor. It’s at the crossroads. Go to NATO or not.I personally think that he should accept an agreement with the Greek and go to Europe ..I hope the referendum for this deal will succeed although there are many who are against it.You are already there … is it better now or before joining NATO and the EU?
