Via Ferrata in the Aoos gorge - Konitsa
Duration: 5 hours
Difficulty level: Medium
Via Ferrata is located on the river Aoos near the Konitsa town.
Our route starts with a hike from the old stone bridge of Konitsa and runs along the river. We hike on a forest road and a path. We meet the first bridge of the Gravos stream, 6-7 m long, and then the high Tibetan bridge, 17 m long and 35 m high, over the Aoos river! This bridge is the start of the Via Ferrata path, characterized by passages on the rock secured with iron stairs and ropes.
The route is circular and ends back to the old stone bridge of Konitsa.
