Today starts with a hike down on the 17th century steps of Vitsa into the Vikos Gorge, one of the natural wonders of Greece. This gorge is the deepest gorge in the world after the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Its walls, more than 1.000 meters (3.350 feet) high at places, are actually the highest of any gorge anywhere in the world. We follow the river to its natural spring called Voïdomatis, where the brave ones get a chance to swim. Its water is so clear that it is safe to drink from it as well. Reportedly it has the cleanest water in Europe, and is also known for its delicious trout.

The stone houses, the allies paved with cobblestones and the church, which is almost a thousand years old, with the hospitality of the inhabitants, make our stay here unforgettable.

Today we will climb more than thousand meters (3280ft). The beauty of the impressing landscape is an ample compensation for the effort of climbing up. The steep rock high above will give us a feeling of insignificance. We will take a light lunch in the mountain hut and then we continue our hike up to the Dragon Lake. From there our eyes won't get enough of the breathtaking view that developed over the course of millions of years by the unfailing creativity of nature. After this you can't resist swimming in the lake (agreeable temperature). Dinner and overnight stay in the mountain hut.
