Neo Chalkiopoulo, AitoloakarnaniaOpen in Maps Sunday, 30 May 2027

A mountain loop from the Inachos valley to a hermit's cave on Kalana, in the Valtos mountains. The 28K crosses the Inachos on a suspension bridge, then climbs almost 1,000 m past springs and the caves of the klephts to the cave of Agios Andreas the Hermit at 1,215 m, with Lake Kremasta far below. The way home drops through fir forest to a chapel built into the rock and the old village of Palio Chalkiopoulo, then down the plane-tree ravine of the Megas Rematas. The 10K runs only the last part, from the old village, and hikers can do it too.
