We got information In September 1916, the French-Serbian forces, having regrouped earlier, began counter-offensive and the giu forced the Bulgarian-German forces to withdraw to Kajmakcalan’s initial positions. After this success, the Serbian-Serbian forces began an offensive during the two-day fighting on the turn of the Crna River and in the right-hander of Bitola to break the Bulgarian-German defense.During this offensive, Bitola was conquered by the forces of the Entente, and the Bulgarian-German forces were forced to retreat to the heights of Pelister and the northwest of Bitola.

We were walking on the path of war which is start from Info Center in Pelister and ends near to hotel Molika.

During the walk we got information from the professor that in September 1916, the French-Serbian forces, when they had regrouped earlier, began counter-offensive and they forced the Bulgarian-German forces to retreat to Kajmakcalan’s initial positions. After this success, the Serbian forces began an offensive attack and during the two-day fighting on the turn of the Crna River and in the right-hander of Bitola to break the Bulgarian-German defense.During this offensive, Bitola was conquered by the forces of the Entente, and the Bulgarian-German forces were forced to retreat to the heights of Pelister and the northwest of Bitola.

The path actually is museum with many landmarks related with first world war as, trenches, when the soldieras are making position for better target, places for cannons, and places for machine guns which it was good for inspiration and motivation on the artists to continue further with activities of the project.
