Arcadia, Mainalo mountain: Hiking trail and forest route
Menalon: an iconic sense of harmony and serenity
The route of the E4 trail in Mainalo starts just outside the village of Vytina (point on the map as start point A, green line and then blue to the point Katafigio. You can see below how to get to start point A ), it is predominantly forested, with passes through fir and pine forests. The route is relatively challenging at first, but offers unique views with a sense of harmony, serenity, lush nature throughout the mountain range!
The Forest Road is a circular road suitable for hiking, mountain running and mountain biking but also accessible by car*. It starts just outside Vytina (map Start point Start point B in red. You can see below how to get to Start Point B) or you can start from the E4 trail(Start Point A) and enter the forestry from two different points as shown on the map. The whole forestry is in excellent condition, "accompanied" by a lovely fir forest, offers (see map) spots for relaxation, picnics, meditation, great photography, and many places with views to the core of the mountain and to the village of Vytina.
On both routes away from the noise of the city you are given the opportunity to disconnect from everyday life to indulge in the sounds of nature and the harmony of nature!
Of course it is not necessary to cross the whole hiking trail or forest trail! Just get into nature and enjoy every moment or find the best place that suits you and experience what it has to offer!
