September 23, 2024,Klooster van Pogonitsa – Magnific view of Viros gorge rondtocht vanuit Εξωχώρι

Tough hike and my Garmin watch indicated 9.5km which I believe is more likely. This hike is definitely red with a black edge. The crossing in the riverbed was really scrambling with hands and feet. Furthermore a steep ascent and descent. Furthermore beautiful views.
