Starting in Rodopos, after about 3 km, a goatherd seems to have a problem with hikers and, just like a year before, has locked his gate with a lock, even though the tour should have continued there.

Vast, deserted, lonely, and difficult-to-traverse expanses. The terrain is predominantly rocky and covered with low vegetation.

From here the hike became challenging, as it went along a very narrow path …
