Lake Ohrid (Albanian: Liqeni i Ohrit) straddles the mountainous border between the eastern Albania and southwestern Macedonia. It is one of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes, preserving a unique aquatic ecosystem with more than 200 endemic species that is of worldwide importance. The importance of the lake was further emphasized when it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1979.
