Itinerary description

This circular walk takes in the lower part of the Kritsa Gorge. The walk is over rough cobbled tracks and boulders in the gorge bed. You need confidence and agility to use metal hand grabs in a couple of tricky places.

For more information see my book, Explore Kritsa available on Amazon viewbook.at/ExploreKritsa

Waypoints

Start by parking on the gravel track near the shrine then take the track on the right.

Walk up the track a short distance and you'll spot some yellow way markers for the gorge. Ignore these and take the track to the right. The yellow signs show your return route as this is a circular walk.

Turn left, up a narrow track

Undo the twisted metal 'tie' keeping the gate shut and pass through. Secure the gate again.

As the path flattens out look to your left, you need to find the red blobs of paint that show your route.

Pass through another metal gate remembering to secure it after you.

At the gravel road you need to turn left

Pass through another metal gate remembering to secure it after you.

Enter the gorge and turn left, downhill.

When you reach the narrow 'chutes' in smooth rock walls there are robust metal hand grabs

After descending the huge boulders look to the left-hand ridge to spot telegraph poles and a house. This is where you are

There are many stone cairns here and a dirt path rises to the left

You are now back on the track where you started
