The initial part of the trail has a little slope and crosses the tranquil setting of a small plateau on the west bank of the Kompsatos River, which is known from the ancient times and is even mentioned by Herodotus. Then the path stretches up to the hill and ends at the uninhabited Astraea village. The houses are stone built Astraea with traditional architecture style and slate roofs. The village lies at the foot of rocky ridges, like Meteora, the tops of which are nesting rare birds of prey. After the village, the trail enters a virgin beech forest with natural water sources, where lives a wild herd of horses.
