Once in Ohrid, you can catch a local bus or taxi to Trpejca. Local buses to Trpejca may not run frequently, so it is advisable to check the schedule ahead of time or opt for a taxi.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route, consider taking a taxi from Ohrid to National Park Galicica. Taxis are available at the Ohrid bus station and can take you directly to the park entrance. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand, which should be around 10-15 euros for the short trip to Trpejca.
