Probištip (Macedonian: Пробиштип) is a town in the Republic of Macedonia, seat of the Probištip municipality.

[edit] Features

Probištip is nestled in the southwest corner of the Osogovo Mountains, in northeastern Republic of Macedonia. The region has been well-known since Roman times for its mineral wealth and mining industry, which flourished during Yugoslav times. It has a long tradition of hearty country eating, and is close to both the stunning Monastery of Gabriel Lesnovski (dedicated to St.Archangel Michael and St.Gavril Lesnovski) and the unearthly stone formations of Kuklica. The mines of Zletovo give most of the natural materials that are processed in Probistip.
