Parnitha, hiking trail - Cable ca

A short but relatively demanding hiking route, due to the fact that it is uphill in almost all parts, except for the forest path at the beginning with a gentle uphill slope.

The route (almost for 1km) starts from the cable car parking lot (forested see map) and then enters the demanding uphill trail which is in excellent condition with auxiliary logs on the ground as steps (in several places) and ends at the upper cable car reception station and Mont Parnes.
You can combine the hiking route in a circular way, i.e. go up and back with the cable car or vice versa. I don't know if you can enter and try your luck in the casino with your mountaineering - hiking equipment, what is for sure is that you can walk in the forest (if of course the weather allows it) and enjoy the view of Athens in almost all parts of the trail!

It is worth mentioning that apart from the views offered by the trail as you ascend or descend the forest path, the teleferik almost silently passes right above you offering a special and unique experience.
