First to the top

A sports-recreational event with which the people of Skopje, together with visitors from all over Macedonia and neighboring countries, compete en masse to the top of their mountain Vodno one day a year. The climb has a competitive nature for those who want to prove that their regular association with Vodno has resulted in a record time for climbing from the foot to the top of Vodno.

Искачувањето има натпреварувачки карактер за оние кои сакаат да се докажат дека своето редовно дружење со Водно резултирало со рекордно време за качување од подножјето до врвот на Водно.

Skopje is one of the few cities in the world that can boast of having a beautiful mountain that starts from the city center and there is no resident of the city who does not visit Vodno several times a year. Water is a corner for the recreation of every Skopje citizen at any time of the year. FIRST TO THE TOP is an occasion to climb our mountain together one day a year
