Meet Kruševo
Kruševo is a high balkan ridge above a broad plain near Kruševo, Pelagonia. Pilots know it for the vast Pelagonia plain, a high town built around international flying, and a long record of major competitions. This page is a cultural introduction—not a live site guide—so check current local information before flying.
Why pilots love it
A high Balkan town perched above a plain made for triangles, long glides, and the annual migration of competition pilots. The flying can involve thermal, cross-country, and competition flying, but the appeal is larger than a list of conditions: it is the landscape, the local rituals, and the stories pilots carry home. The town is already high; the task committee remains professionally unsatisfied.
