Itinerary description

Ημερομηνία: 11/02/2024
Συνολικά υψομετρικά: 399 μετρά
Terrain: 11.74 χιλιόμετρα μονοπάτι
Δυσκολία: Μέτριο

Η πεζοπορία διοργανώθηκε από τον Ορειβατικό Σύλλογο Καλαμάτας – ΕΟΣ Καλαμάτας. Το συγκεκριμένο καλντερίμι ήταν η βασική οδός για τη σύνδεση της Νέδουσας με την Καλαμάτα. Η διαδρομή ξεκινάει από τη θέση Λαγού Χάνι (σημείο ξεκούρασης για όσους πήγαιναν Καλαμάτα) και συγκεκριμένα από το γεφύρι του Αγίου Πολυκάρπου και κινείται κατά μήκος του φαραγγιού του Νέδοντα με εκπληκτική θέα σε πολλά σημεία της διαδρομής προς το Μεσσηνιακό κόλπο. Από το σημείο Λαγού Χάνι και για περίπου 2 χιλιόμετρα κινούμαστε στο ίδιο υψομετρικό (περίπου 400 μέτρα). Στη συνέχεια ακολουθεί μια ήπια ανάβαση για περίπου 2 χιλιόμετρα στα 516 μέτρα και συνεχίζει στο ίδιο περίπου υψόμετρο για άλλα 4 χιλιόμετρα με μικρά σκαμπανεβάσματα μέχρι να αρχίσει μια ήπια κατάβαση μέχρι την Ιερά Μονή Βελανιδιάς για άλλα 4 χιλιόμετρα. Το μονοπάτι είναι ξεκάθαρο και με σημάδια και είναι αδύνατο κάποιος χάσει το δρόμο του εκτός από τα πρώτα 300 μέτρα που είναι καλύτερα να ακολουθείτε το gpx αρχείο. Παρόλο που το μονοπάτι είναι βατό σε βροχερές μέρες η διάσχιση του θέλει προσοχή λόγο της μορφολογίας του εδάφους (πολλές πέτρες).

Total Elevation Gain: 399 meters
Terrain: 11.74 km trail
Difficulty: Moderate

The hike was organized by the Mountaineering Association of Kalamata - EOS Kalamata. This particular cobblestone was the main road connecting Nedoussa with Kalamata. The route starts from the place of Lagou Hani (rest point for those going to Kalamata) and specifically from the bridge of Saint Polykarpos and moves along the gorge of Nedontos with amazing views in many parts of the route to the Messinian Gulf. From the point of Lagou Hani and for about 2 kilometers we move at the same altitude (about 400 meters). It then follows a gentle climb for about 2 kilometers to 516 meters and continues at about the same altitude for another 4 kilometers with small ups and downs until it begins a gentle descent to the Holy Monastery of Velanidia for another 4 kilometers. The path is clearly marked and it is impossible to lose your way except for the first 300 meters where it is better to follow the gpx file. Although the path can be characterized as easy on rainy days, crossing it requires caution due to the morphology of the ground (many stones).

*** The route can be followed in reverse.
