The route from \u201cPrionia\u201d to the refuge “Spilios Agapitos” is the busiest mountaineering path of Olympus. It is part of the European path E4 and is the continuation of the path \u201cLitochoro \u2013 Prionia\u201d. We arrive at the small cafe-restaurant in Prionia, following for 18 km the asphalt road from Litochoro and we park our car. From there, the path to the refuge and the peaks begins. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are passing the springs of Enipeas river and we start our ascent. The path, clean and well-curved, leads us through a beautiful forest with beeches, the “forest of silence”, where most of the route takes place. In about 1 hour we reach the place “Pigadouli” where there is a wooden kiosk and a small spring, which is not always flowing. Going up, a little above the kiosk, we meet the path \u201cMavrologo-Livadaki\u201d where there is a sign. We follow the route to the refuge. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dense pine trees, beeches and fir trees, give us their freshness and their shade. In about another hour we reach the place “Magalia” where the cross-path for \u201cGomarostalo-Petrostrouga\u201d is located. We have hike about 2\u20443 of the route and we are coming out of the forest. The path now is quite uphill, with many turns as it moves in the alpine zone for about another hour. This is probably the most difficult part of the route, because it is out of the forest and exposed to the weather conditions (sun and heat in summer, frost in winter). We are ascending steadily with a good tempo and in a little while we are on the balcony of the refuge “Spilios Agapitos” surrounded by perennial Bosnian pine trees.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Time for relaxation, gazing at the wonderful view and returning from the same path to our starting point, \u201cPrionia”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
