[[Image:Galicka kukja.jpg|thumb|240px|Hillside building in Galičnik.]]'''Galičnik''' ([[Macedonian language|Macedonian]]: ''Галичник'') is a mountain [[village]] in the [[Republic of Macedonia]]. It is located on the [[slope]]s of the [[Bistra mountain]], in the heart of the region of the [[Mijaci tribe]], about 10 km from the artificial lake of [[Mavrovo]] and the [[winter resort]] of [[Zare Lazareski]]. It is famous for the "[[Galichnik Wedding Festival|Galička Svadba]]", a traditional and public summer wedding, held annually on the day of the village feast of the [[Patron Saint]] – [[Petrovden]] ([[St. Peter]]'s day). During the wedding, local men will dance the "Teškoto"[http://www.soros.org.mk/konkurs/076/angver/Teskoto.html] (the ''"hard"'' or ''"heavy"'') - a dance that is meant to symbolize the overcoming of difficulties in life ([http://www.soros.org.mk/konkurs/076/makver/Teskoto.wav .wav sound file]). |

'''Galičnik''' ({{lang-mk|Галичник}}) is a mountain [[village]] in [[North Macedonia]] and along with [[Lazaropole]] is one of the two biggest and oldest [[Mijaks|Mijak]] villages in the region. Galičnik has well-preserved traditional [[architecture]], including an amphitheater in the village square, and is famous for its surrounding countryside and nature reserve. |
|||
In the past, the economy of Galičnik relied on the [[sheep]] [[trade]], while many families sent the men on a "pečalba" - abroad to work and bring home some fortune. Today, Galičnik is but only a destination of [[tourism]] and [[leisure]] for the long departed locals, many of whom return to renovate and restore old family houses and use them as a holiday refuge away from the summer heat in the capital [[Skopje]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
People from Galičnik and northwestern Macedonia appreciate its mature yellow cheese "[[kaškaval]]" as well as the local salt brine white cheese "belo [[sirenje]]". Galičnik is also famous for its local traditional [[architecture]], including an amphitheatre in the village square, its [[summer Galičnik Art Colony]] and its countryside and nature reserve. |
|||
The village is located in the ethnographic region of "[[Mijačija]]", named after the [[Mijaks]] (Мијаци/Mijaci), the tribe historically inhabiting this mountainous region. This region has plentiful rich pastures for livestock grazing and this feature attracted [[Vlachs]], shepherds, who established settlements based on cattle-breeding and shepherding.<ref name="Welters1999">{{cite book|author=Linda Welters|title=Folk Dress in Europe and Anatolia: Beliefs about Protection and Fertility|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=35oIbNIIn-8C&pg=PA100|date=1 November 1999|publisher=Bloomsbury Academic|isbn=978-1-85973-287-8|pages=100–}}</ref> |
|||
==Events== |
|||
The most important event in the village is the [[Galichnik Wedding Festival|Galička Svadba]], a traditional wedding custom held annually in summer (in July), on the day of the village feast of the [[Patron Saint]] – ''Petrovden'' ([[St. Peter]]'s day).
