Deserted hospital of Amiantos in Cyprus from Above
The deserted Hospital in Amiantos that some say souls are living there!
The Amiantos asbestos mine operated during the period 1904 - 1988 and is situated in the Troodos Mountain Range. The Troodos range geologically constitutes part of an ancient geological ocean floor and has been known as the Troodos Ophiolite Complex. Asbestos occurs in the form of chrysotile veins scattered within serpentine (serpentinized harzburgite) appearing in the central part of the range at an altitude of 1500m. The thickness of the veins ranges between just a few millimeters to 2 centimeters.
Cyprus is considered to be one of the oldest asbestos sources and until recently it has been one of the largest chrysotile asbestos producing areas in Europe.
Most people employed at the mine came from the surrounding villages and from every corner of the island, in particular people coming from poor areas. The community provided a large and fully equipped hospital which we have recorded for our friends and visitors.

An old trail connecting Troodos top with the Amiantos Mine and the community of Kato Amiantos.
Recently brought back to life and rode it with good friends!
More work is needed to be clear to ride, shaky video but you'll get a good idea of the riding!

Persephone Nature Trail Troodos Limassol Cyprus
The route of the trail is circular, with the first half following the forest trail and the rest (returning) being a forest road. Midway at the “Makria Kontarka” locality, at an altitude of 1660 m, a path leads to an impressive view point, from where you may enjoy the view
towards the villages and vineyards of Limasol district, the Cape Gata and the Akrotiri Salt Lake. Around the view point you will be able to see cedar and juniper reforestation. During the following route towards the end of the trail, enjoy the view of the Amiantos Asbestos Mine.
The route passes through rich vegetation and a dense black pine forest. Along the trail, you will find signs with information about the plants, shrubs and trees that can be found in Troodos Forest. The trail got its name from the goddess of Greek mythology Persephone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Hades, fascinated by her beauty, kidnapped Persephone while picking flowers,
transferring her to the underworld. According to the myth, after her abduction, Persephone was rising from the underworld to Earth and returning back for four months, with her rise symbolizing the euphoria of nature and her descent the winter frost.

Prodromos Mountain Walk Troodos Cyprus
#hikingcyprus #walkingcyprus #cypruswalk #troodos #cyprus #prodromos #limassol
Expert route because half of the path has no sign at all you have to climb up on steep slope rely on GPS or compass. At the top, you able to find a living forest finally where is birds are singing, not killed by hunters. On the top pine forest is so beautiful and a quiet well visible forestry road will guide you until reaching the mountain top where you have to down on even more steep slope on rolling stone, but this part is marked pretty well. Very easy to miss the intersection when you able to return faster, even if did hike longer route just yesterday I did miss the intersection and have climb back to find the right trail. Due to no marks, steep slopes I mark it to expert level and honestly perhaps my nicest hiking experience.

Prodromos is a village in the province of Limassol found in the geographic region of Southern Marathasa, at a distance of 60 kilometers northwesterly from the city of Limassol.
It is built at an altitude of 1.380 meters from the average sea level and is the only village of Cyprus having such a high altitude.
It accepts a very high average annual rainfall that reaches 922 millimeters. In its region, they are cultivated various species of deciduous fruit trees (apple trees, cherry trees, plum trees, pear-trees, and peach trees). The village of Prodromos is particularly famous for the exceptional quality of its apples. However, the bigger extent of the village is uncultivated. Part of the government-owned forest of Troodos raises in its administrative limits. The bigger water sources not only for Prodromos but also for the entire mountain range of Troodos, are the group sources of Chartzi. Due to works at the “Chromium” mine, almost all groundwater at the region of Prodromos has changed direction.Up to 1962 the deciduous fruit trees of the village, that their extent was about 24 hectares, were irrigated exclusively by the sources of Chartzi and other smaller sources. However, the continuous increasing needs for the irrigation of the new plantations of fruit trees as well as the utilization of the sources Chartzi for the water supply and irrigation of the village, imposed the manufacture in 1962 of the dam of Prodromos having a capacity of 110.000 cubic meters. The dam is found near the main street of Prodromos-Troodos, in the locality Damaskinari and from this dam, 23 hectares, that are cultivated with deciduous fruit trees, are irrigated.

LA SPORTIVA CYPRUS MOUNTAIN MADNESS TRAIL RACE SERIES .
LOOP A OF THE TROODOS 50KM ULTRA
Runners will begin from Troodos square just as the dawn is breaking, heading out of the village along a short section of tarmac to the start of the very appealing Persephone trail.
After winding through the pine trees and among the ferns and bracken for about 2km, runners will come to an intersection with a jeep track. At this point go straight ahead (don’t turn left or right), following the yellow La Sportiva tape.
Soon after the start of the baby juniper nursery (take time to marvel how the soft early morning sunshine sparkles on their leaves), take a LEFT turn onto a rather rugged track that is littered with pine cones.
Watch for the tape, and watch your footing. The going is quite steep in places.
This short section leads down to a jeep track that skirts the now-abandoned but still-an-eyesore Amiantos asbestos mine.
Follow the jeep track as ........................................... ......
