マケドニア-トラキアのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Sea view with island and peninsula Kassandra

On the E4 from Litochoro to Prionia, three of the wooden bridges over the river have now been destroyed, as of early October 2025. With little water and a bit of skill, you can still cross dry. With a lot of water, it becomes difficult. Officially, the road is closed due to the broken bridges. These are located approximately halfway between the two endpoints.

From the switchbacks the views reach deep along the valley, with forests on both sides at lower elevation, and a hint of the sea mist in the distance.

May 2025: A couple of additions to „DemSchnitzel“. The three down-river bridges are the ones which are missing. Walking through the river takes time and added 1 hour to our walk today (finding best place to cross, boots off and on etc.). The brown stones in the riverbed are very slippery, use a stick for balance! But a beautiful walk nevertheless👍

May 2025: Three wooden bridges used to cross the river are now broken. The path is officially still closed. Alternatively, you can walk through the riverbed (knee-deep and with strong currents in places). You should have a reasonable level of balance.

Water is cold, but you can get across

Great cool rest area
