Ramne

• Galičica National Park lists Ramne on two suggested routes: one runs via Velgoshti and Letnica to the Ohrid Visitor Center, while the other starts in Ramne and goes via Letnica, Visok Vrv, and Krstec to Velestovo.
• Manastiri is an early Christian basilica from the early and middle historical periods. Ramninski Lozja is a Roman-era settlement and necropolis.
• Ramne is home to the church referred to as the Church of St Ilija and the Church of Saint Athanasius. The latter was built between 1967 and 2000 on the foundations of an older church.

The two suggested routes follow different paths. The Velgoshti–Letnica–Ramne–Ohrid Visitor Center route lists Ramne as a stop. The Ramne–Letnica–Visok Vrv–Krstec–Velestovo route starts in the village. When planning your trip, you can first distinguish whether Ramne is one stop along a longer sequence of named places or the starting point of the suggested route.
