We start our ascent in the village of Mikro Papigo, following a well-marked path to the mountain refuge of Astraka. Throughout the climb, we have excellent views of the Papigo Towers and Mount Nemertsika (in Albania), among others. Then we descend to the dry (in the summer months) lake Xerolimni, which has formed by glaciers millions of years ago.
After that, a steep hike to the lake, rewarding us with the satisfaction of climbing it the population of Balkan goats (wild goats) that wondering what we are doing in their habitat and the wonderful view of the Aoos gorge and Mount Smolikas (the second highest mountain in Greece).
