Hiking in Parnitha – Ascent to Xerovouni from Mola

Live a unique hiking experience to the summit of Xerovouni in Mount Parnitha on Saturday, 25 October! A circular route starting from Mola, leading us through dense fir and black pine forest, springs and scenic trails that showcase the wild beauty of the mountain.

On the route we will pass by Samari, Kandalidi and Kryfoneri, walk below the peak Avgo, visit Koromilia Spring and ascend to the summit of Xerovouni. The return is via a different path: we descend left of the Kokkinos Vrachos (Red Rock) and through Mesiano Nero.
