Overview
Program code: HN02
We will meet at our base in Toxotes, Xanthi. From there, we will follow the mountain road that passes through the abandoned village of Imera by car, at an altitude of 475m (25 minutes). We will stop for a while at a vantage point at 900m. for a panoramic view of the meanders of the river and we will continue towards the next abandoned village, Kromniko, at an altitude of 515m. This old trail connects the Galani area to the Stavroupolis valley. Passing through the village, we will see the ruins of the school and the old water spring and we will follow the well-preserved cobblestone road descending steadily. Among the ruins, we can usually detect small groups of wild horses. About half an hour later, we will see river Nestos on our right. The trail goes down through a dense oak forest to the railway line. We will continue along the river either through the riverside forest or the chiseled rock path over the tunnels.
