Skopje, Macedonia - A small group of Hungarian kayakers reported missing in Macedonia has been found unharmed and paddling their craft in Lake Ohrid.

Interior ministry spokesman Ivo Kotevski says the three men and two women were located Thursday at the western end of the lake, near the border with Albania.

A campground employee had raised the alarm with authorities, saying three Hungarians did not return from the lake on Wednesday and their vehicle was still in a parking lot.

Lake Ohrid, located some 190 kilometers (about 120 miles) southwest of the capital, Skopje, is a popular tourist destination in Macedonia. - Sapa-AP
