Black Forest
(or Forest of Orma)
Adorning the plain of Almopia and the slope of Mount Voras (Kaimaktsalan), in the cozy village of Aridaia Orma, stands the Black Forest, a breathtaking scenery of dense vegetation and towering pines, a heavenly place that is made from fairytales!
The highly dense vegetation of the Black Forest, the towering pines and beech trees prevents the sun’s rays to penetrate the ground even in the summer months, the rich flora and fauna of the forest, the unique and wild beauty add to the Black Forest an imposing and mysterious character, while the whole area remains “virgin” with minimal human interventions such as small shelters of the Forest inspection.
Main feature and a special natural beauty is the river “Belitsa” or “Aspropotamos”, with huge trees on its banks, a sight for sore eyes and a place of absolute relaxation, whose reach goes all the way to Loutraki crossing the village of Orma.
The steep slopes, cliffs and natural shelters, the large biodiversity, the huge palette of earthy colors, the pure oxygen and the absolute tranquility of nature offer you magical moments of absolute relaxation and make you feel butterflies in your stomach.
The Black Forest offers unique moments of sightseeing and adventure, offering every visitor possibilities of hiking, mountaineering, camping, descents of river kayaking and rafting, trips with four-wheel drive vehicles and off road engines, while in summer months Aridaia mountaineering club organizes group hikes, climbing and mountain biking.
Access to the forest is possible either by starting from the village of Orma, route that offers the magic of adventure with dirt roads and hiking, or by starting from the village Megaplatanos, a path more easier and more accessible because of the asphalted road. The choice is yours!
In any occation, the Black Forest will reward you with moments of absolute mental exaltation! One more surprise you must give to yourself!
