This village gained fame in 2019 as the setting for the critically acclaimed Macedonian documentary Honeyland. The film follows one of Europe's last wild beekeepers, Hatidze Muratova, who lives in this village once populated by Turks but ultimately abandoned by almost all of them. Bekirljia is in Lozovo Municipality. Muratova has reportedly been moved into a new house in a nearby village where some friends and family live but if you want to see the beautiful scenery from the film for yourself, Bekirlija awaits you.

Ѓаволски ѕид
This natural phenomenon consists of a rock formation that forms a wall 500 m (1,640 ft) long, with smaller traces of it extending 5 km (3 mi). Its average height varies between 10 and 12 m (32 to 39 ft). The formation sits in a hardly accessible mountainous area. Local legend states that the devil built the wall with the intention of flooding the Bregalnica River and sinking Ovce Pole, but God sent a rooster to thwart completion of the wall.

This unique site contains a geoglyph which extends 90 m (295 ft) long and 45 m (148 ft) wide. Research on the site only really began in 2014. Findings indicate that the soil composition here is indeed different than the surrounding area which suggests artificial origin.
