In about 200m we pass over the small stream, over the first wooden bridge and go uphill. The stream starts from Voskovrisi and will accompany us almost all the way. The path continues uphill and it is relatively easy. It moves through the gorge and the dense forest. It is very well maintained with protective wooden fences and wooden steps on the slippery and rough spots. It also has designated resting areas with benches and gazebos. The presence of water accompanies us for quite a long time, offering a pleasant coolness that makes the ascent relaxing. As we climb, we admire the small waterfalls and the small pools formed by the flow of water. At about 2.5 km we cross the second small bridge and there the first, relatively easy part of the trail ends.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/theursaminor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03ba\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2-576x1024.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nFrom this point, the path starts to become more uphill with steep inclines.

<\/a><\/p>\nWe cross the bridge and after a while we come out in a characteristic clearing with many ferns and a steep incline called “Puliana” (in the summer you need to be careful because the fern is high and you can’t see the path well).

We climb along with it until we find again the wooden fences of the path and a ruined log cabin.<\/span><\/p>\nIf we want to climb to the high peaks of Mount Pangaio, right after the ruined log cabin at the first turn of the trail, we continue straight northeast (difficult and demanding route, about 4 hours).<\/span> But we want to go to Voskovrisi so we continue northwest. At this point there is a sign to help the climber find his way. We enter a beech forest gaining altitude. <\/span><\/p>\n
