Ruined Stone House

Highlight • Historical Site

Brick ruin in the upper part of the gorge. Already half overgrown. Looks a bit enchanted. Very beautiful.

Wooden stairs in Richtis Gorge

Highlight • Structure

Coming from the top, you've almost made it to the waterfall on the stairs.
Adventurous construction - but stable 😅😂

Richtis Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

There is a rest area with table and benches at the waterfall and the sea, but the food and drinks itself must be brought, as there is nowhere to kiosk or a refreshments.

From beach car park 1, entrance below, it is an easy and short hike over stones, water, walkways and great flora
There are a few small ones even before the highlight waterfall.
Be sure to stand under the waterfall and swim in the small lake, but very kslt ... brrrr.🙈😶It was very nice, about 3.5 km.

Lachanas Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful bridge. The path from above into the gorge starts here. The 3 euro entrance fee is really worth it. Of course you can drive to the beach and then from below to the waterfall. But the most beautiful part of the gorge is the path from above to the waterfall.

A really nice tour through the canyon with a waterfall that varies in strength depending on the weather and season. The path is very varied. Good footwear, sure-footedness and having fun climbing are important 🙂.
The path is well signposted and we walked up to the Lachanas Bridge and back again.
Entry is €3

Much has been written about the beauty of the gorge (and the path through it). Our answers to questions we asked ourselves beforehand:
Should we extend the gorge hike into a loop via the road to the parking lot by the sea?
Absolutely not! The road is long, offers no shade or variety, and the people we overtook there didn't …
