After 20 min. of driving from our meeting point at the center of Metsovo, we park our car on the north side of Aoos lake. This is our starting point for the 10km. hiking tour. The tour duration is aprox. 3 hours and the difficulty is moderate. The trail goes at the beginning through the forest but also through nice mountain meadows. On the highest point of our tour, we will have amazing views of the Aoos lake and the Pindus peninsula.

After a short break and a snack with some fruits, nuts etc. under a very nice big tree Pinus leukodermis we continue our hiking tour descent directly to the coast of the lake. From that point we stay on the shore of the lake until we are back in our car. On the warm days in the summer we can swim!
