Itinerary description

This is a very pleasant walk in a nice landscape in the foothills of White Mountains. In December there was snow on the mountain tops and the sky was crystal clear. Paved roads except between Dzidzifes and Vafes where the path/gravel road in parts risks become overgrown in a few years.

    This track is still up to date. Nice and easy hike. The path from Tzitzifes to Bafes is not visible on Osmand app do one can be fooled by this. On Google Maps the track is visible luckily.
