Walk and talk in the wild
With the help of two experienced hikers we will take a walk in the nearby Black Forest, one of the most beautiful forests in Greece, which owes its name to the density of the trees that allow no sunlight to reach the ground. Tradition has it that Alexander the Great had had timber cut here in order to make the 6m long spear called sarissa,a notorious weapon of the Ancient Greek Macedonian army. It is a beautiful hike to the stream of Kounoupitsa with the spectacular waterfall, combined perfectly with an optional dive in the stunning Pozar thermal springs! We will walk between trees and short vegetation, but as we reach a higher altitude, we will admire the magnificent view of St. Nicholas stream.From this point we start a captivating descent following a verdant path for about 50 minutes until it ends up in the gorge of Ramno Bore, consisting of three main streams, the Isio Pefko (straight pine), the Louta and the stream of Kounoupitsa. And in just 10-15 minutes of hiking alongside the stream, we meet the majestic 12-meter waterfall of Kounoupitsa. There, we will take a break for photos or even a dive in the cold waters. We return following the same route back and once we arrive at Pozar, we can enjoy a thermal bath in the waterfalls or in the outdoor pool
The walk is gentle suitable for all levels.
