Route description:
-Hiking on the bridges is ideal for those who want to know the history, culture, architecture and natural beauty of Central Zagori, through the paths used by Zagorians in their daily lives, many years ago. Zagori is known for its traditional network of trails. The paths, also known as 'cobbled streets', were used to connect the 47 villages. In this network, the presence of stone bridges, which were used for the movement of residents, and goods, regardless of the area, was also very important.The bridges are samples of remarkable folk architecture and excellent technique possessed by the master builders of Epirus. They are distinguished in single arches, double arches or triple arches with multiple shapes and forms.
