Itinerary description

A short but steep climb to peak Kouloukonas (1076m) from Bali. There are NO roads/paths on the way up except for the asphalt road in Vlihada. The way back is a different one, it follows a ground road on its second half. There is no water on the route except for the well on the southern peak of Kouloukonas. THE TRACK IS DRAWN BY HAND!

Note that you might need to climb over a fence at some places to get to the track: a closed gate can be met at point 3, there are fences after point 4. Two dead ends in the beginning of the route lead to farms. Also there might be openable gates at points 18 and/or 19. Bee hives stand close to the road near point 17 and also can pose a problem, see the 1st comment. The last warning: the track is marked as "technically difficult" as it really is.

We could not get to the track. In one end was a locked goat gate, other end openable gates, but the track was passing in the middle on bee hives. We had to turn back :(

I am very sorry about this... I will add some warnings to the descriptions. Indeed, getting through the fences to mountains is a big problem there.
