Along the Voidhomatis
Vikos-Aoos national park, may 15, 2005. The Voidhomatis (Voidomatis) is the river that springs from the 1000 meter deep Vikos gorge. Along the river is a footpath, that starts from the old bridge near Klidhoniá. In two to three hours you can walk to the new bridge that leads to Papingo, that's the bridge where the rafters start.
Lidy hides behind a "siamese" plane.
Claire at the bridge over the Voidhomatis, not far from Klidhoniá.
Near the bridge lies a wounded bat.
I went walking with Tasos, Katerina and Elli. The first part of the path is easy.
Planes in clear icy water. The "Vikos" brand mineral water comes from this river, perhaps the purest water of Europe.
The path is getting smaller. The trees are getting bigger.
The holes in the trees get bigger too.
Flora and fauna (I didn't take pictures of the snakes though).
Is this a pretty sight? Elli and Tasos in the fairytale forest.
Air plane.
The small deserted monastry of Ayi Anaryiri, half way the path, a hundred meter to the left.
Tasos shoots Elli.
Panorama of the monastery.
Ladder and poppy.
Every now and then a rubberboat with rafters came down the river. This team came ashore to look at the small monastery.
After this point, Elli, Tasos and Katarina went back to the starting point to have a picknick. I continued.
In the distance: the exit of the Vikos gorge.
Out of the hill side came water, a spring.
Panayia Spilotissa, another small monastry on the other bank of the river. I've already shown you the bridge in Rafting on the Voidhomatis.
Panayia Spilotissa.
Panayia Spilotissa, the bell tower.
People are having a picknick on the river bank.
Elli, Tasos en Katarina had saved a fish for me.
