Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Pindos Mountains are quite spectacular. Its numerous rivers sculpted the rocks and shaped the gorges and the canyons. The dense forests with coniferous and deciduous trees, favoured by the climatic conditions, have created a unique biodiversity, with lots of flowers in Spring.

Ask any Greek to name a gorge of Greece and he will mention The Vikos. Jeroen has a collegue from Greece at work and she advised us to go hiking there. In the National Park of Vikos Aoos the bear and wild boar are protected, they wander out occasionally to feast on farm animals. The Vikos Gorge is olso one of the only places in Greece with signed interconnecting footpaths following the Vaidomatis River through the gorge.

So after visiting the village of Konitsa we went hiking in the Vikos gorge, crossing the river of Voidomatis (from the Slavic “Vointo-mat” which means “good water”) which is supposed to be one of the cleanest rivers in Europe. Its source supply is Vikos gorge, in the foothill of Vikos village through underground springs that gush at this point and supply it continuously. Views on the rocks were spectacular and we were the only hikers on this day, as it was still low season here. Even the village of Papingo, with a huge new parking lot, was quiet and empty.
