The landscape is idyllic and with rich nature and biodiversity. The route starts from the parking lot and continues up opposite but parallel to the river, following a 300m path which leads to the big spring of Acheron. Then the path follows the river into the gorge and crosses it a few times, reaching near the area of Skala Tzavelaina. Birds you can see along the river include koskikara and virtavästäräkki.
