ROUTE DESCRIPTION

Our route starts from the entrance of the village of Alona. We cross Alona without turning anywhere and after the village square we follow the uphill dirt road, which leads us to the 17th kilometer Florina – Vigla, from where we continue by turning left on the uphill asphalt road until the shelter of Vigla. Just after the shelter we turn left onto the uphill dirt road, which leads us up to a high ridge. We follow the left-hand path towards the “Luntzer” peak. Up to the rocky summit, you will need to carry the bikes by hand in some places.
From the “Luntzer” peak we can admire the view in all directions and weather permitting we can see all the way to the top of Mount Olympus.
For the return we take the path that is located on the ridge, through a dense and beautiful forest, which leads us to the neck of Derveni. From there we follow the left dirt road and descend to the town of Florina.
