01 Spring on the mountain

The snow melts into the streams, and the forest fills with flowers.

In spring the water comes down from Menalo. Streams run full, the stone fountains along the paths are never dry, and small waterfalls appear in the gorge that are hidden later in the year.

The meadows between the firs come into flower, the moss turns bright, and the paths are quiet. It is a good season for long walks.

02 On foot

Follow the water.

Walk from Vitina towards Elati, where springs and a stone fountain mark the section, or take the riverside path. Both are short enough for an afternoon.

Paths can be wet and slippery after the thaw. Wear shoes with a grip, and ask us about conditions before you set out.
