Itinerary description
a magnificent hike with many wonderful, impressive moments.
- Walk by Kompsatou river.
- Stand on the old Post-Byzantine stone bridge at the exit of the kompastos river (17th -18th century)
- Wild horse sightings
- Walking on the mountain ridge's accompanied by the miracle panorama.
The Trail was initially planned as moderate one, but in view of the unexpected difficulty during descending to the start point. I decided to increase the level to be difficult.
I wrote the difficulties and alternatives in way-points under the name:
- Scenic point of the river and bridge
- Turn right to the animals path
Definitely an interesting combination hike.

Scenic point and advice
Until dis point the Trail is moderate if you decided to follow it, you will found unforeseen of me some obstacles.The descent at the last way point, over old animals roads is pretty hard.Because it has not been used for years and some sections 5 - 6 points at a distance of up to 3 meters are strongly overgrown but passable, you have to make an effort to dig your way through. The other option is to descend on left ,now here on the animals path they lead to sand road.Then go around the mountain to the start point.

Thank you....My pleasure...well done!
In the meantime it has turned out that it would have been better not to descend right down but to continue straight ahead, shown in trails below
