Aposelemi Gorge Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

A definitely worthwhile resting place, especially in warm temperatures. A small fountain to refresh yourself completes the whole thing

Aposelemis Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Special sure-footedness is required for the tour through the river bed. Not the entire route is intended as a hiking trail. The entire crossing is only recommended for experienced hikers.

August 2022: the road under the bridge was blocked by a fence, the van be opened, it is only secured by a wire. However, the first half of the path is not really a trail, it is climbing over huge rocks, so very secure shoes are necessary. It looked like it was abandoned and not taken care of for a long time. However, it is fun if you have the necessary fitness level, and it is very secluded, close to nature and silent, you will most likely be the only person there.

Orthodox shrine at the exit of Aposelemi Gorge

Highlight • Religious Site

This lovingly furnished place of worship is located somewhere in the middle of nowhere at the lower exit of the Aposelemi Gorge in a small house that at first glance almost looks like a toilet house. It is always amazing where such religious places can be found!

Sheep and Goat Farm

Highlight • Structure

There are indeed goats here, but in the summer heat they like to curl up in a shade at the edge of their enclosure and are hardly to be seen.
