Orestije Krstic

Orestije Krstic was a visionary forestry engineer who played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Planinarsko-Turistično Društvo 'Ljuboten' in 1925, which is recognized as the oldest mountaineering club in Macedonia. His leadership and foresight laid the groundwork for the development of mountain hiking culture and community in the region, contributing to the construction of the first mountaineering lodges in Macedonia just a few years after the club's formation.
