Meckin Kamen is a hill near the city of Krusevo.

[edit] The Legend of Meckin Kamen

There is a legend behind the name of the hill: A long time ago in a small suburb besides the orchids lived a number of brothers. They occupied their time with agriculture and life stock. One day the brothers were returning from the hill when they were confronted by a big bear. The brave Krusevcani were not frightened, instead they attacked the bear. The bear rolled a rock down the hill towards the brothers, but then they killed the bear with a couple of strikes from their axes. The rock which was rolled by the bear was known as Meckin Kamen (Bear's Rock) by the people.

[edit] Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising

On the same location, revolutionary Pitu Guli heroically battled for the Krushevo Republic in 1903 when the Ottoman army destroyed Krushevo and suppressed the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising. A monument exists today on Meckin Kamen where Pitu Guli was killed.
