It does not have any particular difficulties, except perhaps from a steep downhill, for about 1 km, before Mola. If you combine the two routes, you must calculate the time correctly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Usefull sites:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpafi.gr\">www.mpafi.gr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Region Map:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m14!1m12!1m3!1d61622.55723520529!2d23.688717788007793!3d38.1710337502948!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!5e1!3m2!1sen!2sde!4v1526661105473\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>After Skipiza spring you will hike north for about 10 minutes on the steep slope leading to the Fire Brigade Cabin. Going up, at first you are having \u00a0an impressive view of Eleusina \u00a0and a little later when you reach the Fire Brigade Cabin, the view, depending on the weather, is up to Evoikos Gulf and Evia\u2019s summits. You continue hiking \u00a0on the same path, which in a little while \u00a0splits in right and left directions. Its right section leads back to Skipiza spring and Bafi refuge. You should take the left downhill route. The path is now moving to the north of the mountain, having to the \u201cright-hand \u201cthe peak of \u201c Karavola\u201d and on the other side, if you can see through the dense fir forest, wonderful view to Evia island.<\/p>\n<p>After about 1 hour and 2.5 km you will meet the crossroad to Mola. The right part of the path ascends and passes between the peaks of Karavola and Ornio leading \u00a0to Bafi refuge. You , \u00a0will take the left direction that goes down to Mola and after about 1 km downhill through the dense vegetation you will reach the asphalt road \u00a0and the area of \u200b\u200bMola. Here you will see the chapel of St. Peter, a meeting point for many hikers, as Mola is the center point \u00a0for many mountain trekking routes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Snapshot-1-Mola.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-292 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Snapshot-1-Mola.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"679\" height=\"365\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Leaving \u00a0the beautiful chapel , you will continue on the earth \u00a0road that starts ten meters below and you will enter the small plateau of Mola where you can admire the mountain meadows which are surrounded with magnificent towering fir trees and green soft grass. In their shade, there are wooden tables and benches, ideal for picnic in the mountain , while the gurgling water from the springs around you will wipe out your thirst and stimulate you.<\/p>\n<p>After St. Peter\u2019s chapel and near the stone fountain, you will see on your right a sign that points to &#8220;Mesiano Nero&#8221;. Mesiano Nero ( Midwater in English) \u00a0is located on the opposite side of the peripheral\u00a0 asphalt road which is connecting Mola with Bafi refuge.\u00a0 But the path drips into the pine forest and follows a parallel course along the road. Generally , it moves on the right side of the peripheral\u00a0 road (direction \u00a0to Bafi refuge) and \u00a0at some points crosses with the road . So after about 3 km and after circling the Karavola peak, the path ends in Bafi refuge.<\/p>\n<p>We have to mention again that, at the refuge , which is managed by\u00a0 Athens\u00a0 Mountaineering Club , you can have a good\u00a0 rest and a good meal on a daily basis.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This particular route will have to be combined with the first route (Bafi refuge \u2013 Skipiza spring \u2013 Fire Brigade Cabin) so you will make a circle around the highest [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[3],"tags":[157,156,151,155,154,153],"class_list":["post-290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trekxp","tag-bafi-refuge","tag-mola","tag-skipiza-spring","tag-155","tag-154","tag-153"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/83156441.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7oXKh-4G","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=290"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":293,"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290\/revisions\/293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
