Municipality of Makedonska Kamenica

Municipality of Makedonska Kamenica is located in the northeastern part of the country, nestled at the foothills of the Osogovo Mountains. It borders the Municipality of Delčevo to the east, Vinica to the south, Kočani to the west, and Kriva Palanka—along with the international border with Bulgaria—to the north. The municipality covers a total area of 189 km². Makedonska Kamenica benefits from a favorable geographical position, lying directly along the vital transport route connecting the eastern and central regions of the country. A major regional road passes through the area, branching off near Veles and continuing via Štip, Kočani, and Makedonska Kamenica toward Delčevo and the border crossing with Bulgaria. Due to this topography, the climate is particularly pleasant, featuring moderate temperature variations and well-balanced precipitation. Higher-altitude areas exhibit a distinct mountain climate characterized by long, snowy winters and short, cool summers. Situated at an elevation of 520 meters, the town experiences an average annual temperature of 11°C, with snow cover rarely lingering for long in the urban center and its immediate surroundings. The warmest days occur in summer—particularly in August—while January is the coldest month. Spring tends to be cooler than autumn, and precipitation is seasonally uneven.
