チェルモス–ヴライコス国立公園のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

美しい人工湖。

リムニ・ドクサ（ギリシャ語で「ドクサ湖」の意味）は、コリント地域地区にある人工湖です。標高約900メートルに位置し、アルカイア・フェネオス村の近くにあり、ジリア山とヘルモス山の鬱蒼とした森に囲まれています。 この湖は、その牧歌的なロケーションから、しばしば「ギリシャのアルプス」と呼ばれるこの地域で最も美しいピクニックデスティネーションの1つと考えられています。

Right by the train station are traditional tavernas, such as the famous "Romance Tavern," which has often served as a backdrop for Greek films. The station is a popular starting point for hikes through the gorge along the railway tracks, especially to Diakopto (approx. 12 km, 3.5-4 hours). Another trail leads up to the Mega Spileo Monastery, founded in the 4th century and built directly into a cliff face. The area is characterized by dense forests of plane trees, chestnut trees, and pines, as well as numerous waterfalls in the gorge.

Zachlorou Station (also known as Mega Spileo) is a prominent station on the historic Diakopto-Kalavryta Railway. It is located in the picturesque village of Kato Zachlorou, nestled within the impressive Vouraikos Gorge. The station primarily serves as access to the famous Mega Spileo Monastery (Great Cave), which can be reached via a 45- to 60-minute hike. The station is part of the 750 mm narrow-gauge rack railway ("Odontotos"), which opened in 1896 and is considered one of the most spectacular railway lines in the Balkans.

There is still enough space to avoid the train.

As long as you're not afraid of heights, it's an absolutely wonderful experience. And don't worry, you'll hear the train coming beforehand. :-)
