If you are looking for a place of moderate difficulty to hike surrounded by nature&#8217;s magnitude, then you should look no further! The so called &#8220;Railing Path&#8221;, thanks to the rail tracks passing through the route, awaits!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travel-zone-greece.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/asopos-gorge-1-e1571038736723.jpg\" alt=\"asopos gorge\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights in the hiking route of Asopos Gorge is hands down Kouvelos location. This is a spectacular rocky mountain, where travelers come across the archaeological site of the Castle of Oria. In this area you will find the remains of an ancient city and walls that probably belong to the ancient Trachina settlement. This settlement has been one of the five cities in the Kingdom of Achilles. During the ruling of the Franks, a significant fortified settlement was developed there with a Byzantine castle. An ancient cemetery of Hellenistic times has also been found and has been partially excavated to this date.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travel-zone-greece.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/asopos-gorge-5-e1571039117708.jpg\" alt=\"asopos gorge\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hps\">An amazing route at Asopos Gorge begins under the railway<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"hps\">bridge called<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"hps\">Papadia<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"hps\">and reaches the<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"hps\">Bridge<\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0<span class=\"hps\">Asopos<\/span>, at the end\u00a0<span class=\"hps\">of the valley.
