Glažnja is a reservoir on the Lipkovo river north-west of Kumanovo, behind a concrete arch-gravity dam, named after the village of Glažnja.
History
The village of Glažnja, in the historical region of Crnogorje, appears in medieval charters: as “Glaže” in 1354, land granted by the despot Dejan to the Arhiljevica church, and under its present name in 1379. Only a handful of people live there today.
