The Vikos Aoos National Park has been a protected natural area since 1973 and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. The National Park is named after the two largest gorges in the area: the Vikos Gorge and the Aoos Gorge. Vikos Aoos National Park covers an area of nearly 13,000 hectares with mountainous terrain, rocks, caves, deep gorges, rivers and lakes, dense coniferous forest and deciduous forest. The park is particularly known for the gorges of Vikos and Ao\u00f6s, Lake Drakolimni and the crystal-clear Voidomatis River.<\/p>\n<p>The National Park is home to more than 2,500 species of flowers and plants and more than 60 different species of mammals and over 180 species of birds. The most notable species are the rare European brown bear, lynxes, wolves and the birds of prey vultures, osprey and golden eagles. However, you need not fear encountering a brown bear during your visit to the park. The bears are very shy and like to hide deep in the mountains!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Vikos Aoos National Park, you can see four of the <a

Gorge is a gorge in the Pindos Mountains and was created during the Ice Age by an earthquake and subsequent glaciation. The Vikos Gorge is said to be the deepest gorge in the world if you look at the ratio of its depth to its width. Despite much debate about the length, depth and width of the gorge, the Vikos Gorge is nevertheless listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest and deepest gorge in the world.\u00a0<\/p><p>According to sources, the gorge is about 15 to 20 kilometers long. Its depth ranges from 450 to over 1,600 meters and its width from over 900 meters to only a few meters in the narrowest part. It may be a bit of a guess as to how deep and wide the Vikos Gorge actually is, but at least we discovered that it is truly amazingly large, beautiful and impressive!\u00a0<\/p><p>For the most impressive view, you must be at the \"Beloi Viewpoint. The Beloi Viewpoint offers stunning views of the Vikos Gorge. The viewpoint is the southernmost point of the Vikos Gorge and from here you can see the vertical cliffs stretching far into the distance. You can reach the Beloi Viewpoint through the villages of Vikos and Vradeto. Follow the signposts to Beloi and hike the rocky path. You will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the gorge!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fe59c9e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"71765\" data-id=\"fe59c9e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0c782fc\" data-eae-slider=\"58013\" data-id=\"0c782fc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fec5592 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fec5592\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikos-beloi-viewpoint-1024x681.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10500\" alt=\"nature reserve zagoria\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikos-beloi-viewpoint-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikos-beloi-viewpoint-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikos-beloi-viewpoint-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikos-beloi-viewpoint-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikos-beloi-viewpoint.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Viewpoint Vikos Beloi<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-102e312\" data-eae-slider=\"15647\" data-id=\"102e312\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b38a4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5b38a4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikoskloof-1024x681.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10499\" alt=\"Travel tips Zagoria\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikoskloof-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikoskloof-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikoskloof-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikoskloof-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/vikoskloof.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Vikos Gorge<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-25cbed1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"97943\" data-id=\"25cbed1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a444f1e\" data-eae-slider=\"44162\" data-id=\"a444f1e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2d5160 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e2d5160\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Ao\u00f6skloof\u00a0<\/h3><p>Between the southern hills of Trapezitsa and Rodovouni and the northwestern side of Mount Timfi lies the Ao\u00f6s River Gorge. The Ao\u00f6s Gorge is smaller than the Vikos Gorge, but is still worth visiting. This 8-kilometer-long gorge begins from the Ao\u00f6s arch bridge, which was built in 1870.  The gorge ends west of the Paleoseli-Vrysochori road. The width of the gorge is 300 meters to 2.5 kilometers.\u00a0<\/p><p>Around the gorge you will find a beautiful piece of nature, with varied flora and fauna. Many smaller rivers and waterfalls fall from the cliffs to the river Aoos. The area near the gorge is popular among bird lovers.

Nevertheless, the river is a popular spot for water sports and other extreme sports such as rafting, canyoning and kayaking.

Zagoria nature reserve<\/h2><p>The mountain area of Zagoria consists of many different gorges created by geological changes due to seismic and volcanic activity. The gorges in the mountains create small mountain rivers with permanent or seasonal flow. This ensures that many water activities and extreme sports are undertaken in the Zagoria nature reserve.\u00a0<\/p><p>During our trip to Zagoria, we did a canyoning tour of the mountain area. Canyoning is an activity that consists of a combination of abseiling from rocks and waterfalls, and hiking and trekking through the rugged natural landscape. We did our canyoning tour with the enthusiastic tour leaders of <a href=\"https:\/\/trekking.gr\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Hellas Trekking<\/strong><\/a>. We hiked in the deepest canyon in the world, abseiled from waterfalls up to 15 meters high, and swam in the crystal clear but icy waters of the river. It was an amazing adventure!\u00a0<\/p><p>Hellas Trekking offers various cultural and active tours, ranging from intensive hikes to mountain bike tours. The team is dedicated to showing you the most beautiful places in the area and is very helpful.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section

The Skala of Vradeto is a paved mule road consisting of 1,200 stone steps and 39 curves. Until the end of the 20th century, the Vradeto Steps were the only way to reach the village of Vradeto.<\/p><p>The hike is quite intensive and takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Walking across the ancient arch bridges and monopatia (footpaths) you will take a tour through the various villages with typical architecture, the famous Vikos Gorge and the Vikos Aoos National Park. The timeless, romantic character makes the bridges a charming addition to the lush, unspoiled landscape of Zagoria.\u00a0<\/p><p>All the bridges in Zagoria are unique and have their own character, as do the villages. Much of the history about the bridges is not known. Many of the arch bridges have no sign with information and little has been written about them on the Internet either. It definitely has something special and we loved exploring the area on the off chance.\u00a0<\/p><p>We began our \"bridge hunt\" at 6:30 in the morning during sunrise. Because the morning is foggy and cold in the Zagoria area, it created a mysterious atmosphere with the arches rising powerfully above the layer of morning fog.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
