コロネイアとヴォルヴィ国立公園でののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The SEO Thessaloniki Refuge is located at an altitude of 1,000 meters, nestled in a beautiful forest of beech and chestnut trees. It is typically open on weekends and holidays, offering a cozy spot for hikers to rest, enjoy a coffee, or eat a hot meal. The facility can accommodate up to 22 people for overnight stays in bunk beds, provided you book in advance with the SEO Thessaloniki club. It serves as a critical junction for trails leading to the Kolosourtis peak, the Icemakers' path, and the "Paliomilos" route. The refuge provides a reliable water source and shelter, making it the most popular meeting point for the local hiking community.

Always carry enough water with you, as this natural spring on the trail can be seasonal.

The rocky path is a steep shortcut starting at the edge of Hortiatis village, offering a more direct but physically demanding climb. The terrain consists of natural rock stairs and loose stones, requiring careful footing and basic hiking fitness. After about an half-hour to an hour of ascent, the trail opens into a plateau of beech and chestnut trees. From the plateau, you can head east to the mountain refuge or continue upward to reach the Kolosourtis summit. It is best used for a fast ascent, as the steep, rocky incline can be slippery and challenging during the descent.

The crossroad that leads either to Kolosourtis high position or to the SEO mountain hut.

Shady location for resting after hiking uphill from Stavros. Nice view opens over the trees towards Strimonikos gulf and Asprovalta.
