A unique rock face route
Birdsong, running water, and waterfalls—sunlight dancing through the foliage. Walk through a fairy-tale setting filled with plane trees and small bridges. Climb the rocks and plunge bravely into pools of ice-cold water. Via Ferrata at Mavri Spilia, near Prousos in Evritania, is an experience that will rejuvenate you and make you feel like a climber, even if you’re not. Experience the unique sensation of exploring a place few are lucky enough to ever see in person.
You don't need to be a seasoned climber or an extreme sports enthusiast to tackle this. Via Ferrata at Mavri Spilia is suitable for everyone, even children over the age of 10. However, it does require special equipment, supervision by outdoor activity experts, and that you have no fear of heights (acrophobia). This is essentially a climbing path carved into the rock face. Where climbing is necessary, iron steps have been installed, which also function as handholds. A special safety cable runs alongside the route, to which you secure yourself with lanyards, while wearing a helmet is mandatory.
The route’s highlight is crossing over the river, walking on a wire cable like an acrobat — it will thrill you!
The route takes approximately one hour (two hours including the return trip). To reach Mavri Spilia, where Via Ferrata begins, you must take a 20-minute hike along the marked M7 trail.
It’s also worth visiting the cave itself, which has historically served as a refuge for locals and is an attraction in Prousos, alongside the Monastery of Panagia Prousiotissa. The summer months offer ideal weather conditions and will provide you with two to three hours of absolute connection with nature!
