In the summer of 1968 a group of Italians led by a local guide made the first organized trip through the gorge. Since then it has become an attraction for hikers who come to admire the unspoilt beauty of the gorge. The length of the gorge is approximately 10km and it requires about 3 hours to cross it. We can enter the magnificent gorge on the outskirts of the village, Pyrgi. Here we have the opportunity to admire the breathtaking views of the highest peaks of Falakro. The gorge is generally flat or with a gentle incline but strong shoes are recommended as the river bed is covered in stones. The banks are densely forested with fir, yew and beech trees. In places the gorge becomes extremely narrow with a breadth of no more than 3-5 metres and pools of water are formed on the river bed. At the end of the gorge, it branches into two paths which head towards the slopes of the mountain. |
