This is a trail on alpine-subalpine terrain. The process of limestone erosion due to temperature changes is intense here. Flint lenses, scattered due to the weathering processes acquire concentric alterations and create the impression of fossilized trees. Drakolimni alpine lake is a form created

A pleasant hike with beautiful views. Especially at monastery Agia Paraskevi you have an impressing panoramic view into the gorge. A detour to the village square in Vitsa is highly recommended, as you have a great view to Monodendri from there.

The erosive power of water reveals the geological history of the area. At the bottom of the Vikos gorge, limestones were formed 160 million years ago; the younger ones at the top 20 million years ago. Aside from the grandeur of the sculptural ensembles formed by water, the visitor has the opportunity

This is the area of the Pindos belt overthrust on the Ionian belt. One can see typical compression structures with well-shaped Ionian limestone folds and normal faults resulting from the area’s neotectonic activity. In Kavasila the deep circulation of the groundwater, coming from the Mt Timfi

Area with spectacular neotectonic changes. The fault of Konitsa created the great depression of the relief, and the Aoos and Voidomatis rivers followed this development over time. The geomorphological processes are intense; River terraces and beautifully shaped alluvial fans have developed along

The interest of this trail lies in the impressive potholes that are the result of vertical karstification of limestones and the presence of faults. Another important sight is the residual moraine forms from the latest ice age. The potholes found here are unique and especially deep, and are subject

The main springs of Voidomatis river lie along the trail. Their occurrence is the result of the river’s vertical erosion that revealed the water table along the faults. As a big part of the route goes through the river it would be advisable to avoid it, especially in winter time.
