Abstract: The Osogovo Mountains represent a vast natural entity that offers great opportunities for the development of eco-tourism. This especially applies to relief, climate, hydrography, flora and fauna and anthropogenic or created values. There are special benefits for winter-sports, summer-excursion, hunting, fishing and event tourism. In this paper, natural and anthropogenic factors, communication facilities and available accommodation capacities were analyzed. On the basis of the previous one, a large number of tourist sites were developed tourist sites with greater potential for the development of eco-tourism. At the end, the directions for the further faster growth of this modern trend in tourism and the measures that should be taken for this purpose are proposed. It is believed that eco-tourism in the Osogovo mountains would have a positive effect on the overall economic situation in this part of the Republic of Macedonia.
