Highlights

Starting from our base, we will approach the forest by choosing one of the three entrances located near the village of Krania. After 1 hour of driving on a dirt road for approximately 16 km we will leave our four-wheel drive vehicles in the valley. Then we will follow the path - forest road that crosses the dense forest, enjoying this wonderful landscape. We will hike in a unique ecosystem with rushing streams, forests of black pine, with the unique stands of Leukodermis pine, "Rombola" and the rare red pines "pinus sylvestris".

During the autumn season we can admire the wonderful colors in shades of red, yellow, green, created by the leaves of Beech and other broad-leaved trees.

Our experienced guide will reveal to us all the 'secrets' of the forest's flora and fauna. We don't miss the opportunity to look for the protected and rare species of alpine Newts, Ichthyosaura alpestris and the special frog Bombina variegate in the cold waters of streams and alpine lakes. We will reach Arkoudorema and depending on the season we can "wet" our feet or swim in the natural pedestals with the crystal clear waters. We will follow the same path on our four wheel drive vehicles to return to our meeting point.
