'''WestMost traffic will not go further than to the monastery Sveti Naum. However, direction Tirana (Albania)'''you can walk to Pogradec, which is about 7.5km away and takes 90 minutes. Try hithching a ride along the main road.
On Bulevar Turisricka in Info on Galičica Naitonal Park: The main entrance to the centre catch Park is located a bus (50den) to Struga bus station. From there walk couple of minutes south to from the roundabout and turn right onto the A2. Walk past the shops and round the slight bendtown of Trpejca. There It is a decent shoulder very common to hitchhike from in front of a few warehouse type stores. Once you have reached ask for rides there that spot take you may be offered a ride up to the border. Say yes. Thenpark, after crossing the border you can walk about 2-3 km on the Albanian side to reach to the main road, where you will be easily picked upe. If you don't want to walk you may be asked by taxis for a ride to the main road, but the price can be extremely high for 2kmg. Alternatively, don't catch the bus to struga but walk further west on Bulevar Turisticka. Near starting point of the onramp there are two petrol stations that are frequented by Albania cars. You can ask around there for a ride to AlbaniaMagoro Trail.
I hitched from Struga directly to Tirana after waiting about half an hour at the coordinates 41°11′00.29″N 20°40′11.7″E (solo male, July 2017)
Summarized Struga & Tirana, added parts about Sveti Naum, & Galičica
== Hitching out ==
=== North, direction [[Struga]] or , [[Skopje]] and [[Tirana]] ===
Walk out of the old town direction north-west on '''Bulevard Turistichka'''. You can already try to hitch here with a sign saying [[Kicevo]], Struga or Skopje. There is also cheap local transport to [[Podmolje]] (6 km), the intersection of the highways to Skopje and Struga, from where it should be easier to catch a ride going your way.

It's about 10 km along the lake till the border and there are many good places to stop a car once you are out of Ohrid.
