Hiking map for Mount Helmos and the Vouraikos Gorge at a scale of 1:30,000. Updated hiking map of Helmos at a scale of 1:30,000, the highest mountain in Achaia with an elevation of 2355 m.
The map covers the area from Tsivlou Lake and the forests of Zarouchla to the Vouraikos Gorge with the famous cog railway, and from the springs of Aroanios in the south, the ancient Kleitoria and the Cave of Lakes to the ancient Lousoi. From the fertile valley of Keryniti and the panoramic view of Klokos, and of course Mount Helmos (ancient Aroanian mountains). An area with a landscape rich in beauty and history.
The map depicts the E4 route and many other hiking trails. There are many paths in Helmos, but the most popular is the trail from Kalavryta to Diakopto, crossing the Vouraikos Gorge. From Diakopto, take the ascent on the cog railway to Kalavryta.
The most impressive sight in Helmos is the waters of Styx flowing from the steep cliffs of Neraiidokarya. In mythology, Styx is the chthonic river that flows from the Underworld. A more challenging route is the ridge of Ktenia of Helmos.
Don't miss the Cave of Lakes, an impressive system of lakes within a large cave. Also visit the mountain villages of Planetero, Peristera, and Kalavryta, and in winter, the ski center near Kalavryta, where the ski resorts have mythical names.
