Route: Metsovo - Aoos Springs Lake
The artificial lake of the Aoos springs was created in 1987 at an altitude of 1340m. It is a significant habitat of the mountain area and is found north of Metsovo at the Politsa pateau. Its area is about 12 square kilometers and its surface is interrupted by small islands overgrown with black pine, beech and cedar. Taking the road from Ioannina to Grevena we turn left after Prophet Elias. A 32km road enables us to drive around the lake. The trail is also ideal for biking and riding.
At the lake you can go for a 1.5 hour route with a one or two seater canoe-kayak. The canoe route explores the eastern part of the lake. On the lake shores we find alpine cows grazing among the tall black pines on the slopes of the National Park Valia Calda. The lake's island, halfway through the route, provides the opportunity to rest and swim.

This aerial footage was filmed during a very cold and windy day (17 Nov 2018) at the springs of Aoos river. The springs form a very big lake with small islands, at about 1300 meters altitude and the scenery in general is condidered one of the most beautiful in the aera. The Lake is very close to Metsovo traditional village and is a 'must see' if you are around! Enjoy!

Το εναέριο video τραβήχτηκε στις Πηγές του Αώου κατά την διάρκεια μιας πολύ κρύας και με πολύ αέρα μέρας. Οι πηγές σχηματίζουν μία μεγάλη λίμνη με πολλά νησάκια διάσπαρτα, στα περίπου 1300 μέτρα υψόμετρο. Η περιοχή σίγουρα αποτελεί ένα από τα 'θαύματα της φύσης' πολύ κοντά στο παραδοσιακό χωριού του Μετσόβου.

Tour at the Aoos Springs Lake
The artificial lake of Aoos' river springs constitute an important natural habitat (biotope) in the Politsa plateau. Verdant banks surround the artificial lake of Aoos' river springs, creating an amazing scenery.
The lake was created through the construction of a hydroelectric dam. It is just half an hour drive to the northwest part of Metsovo. After Profitis Ilias, the route turns to the left, passes by Niazi and reaches the top of the lake. It takes about fifty minutes to go around the lake. The view is amazing.
Free mountain Pindus horses and cattle grazing freely in the forest, hawks searching for prey, sculptured rocks reflecting the sun and exceptionally tall trees of all kinds compose the picture of rare natural beauty.
A road trip in Greece, Aoos Springs Lake
My 2015 road trip in central and west Greece with my Ducati Multistrada 1000 DS. This artificial lake of magical beauty and silence is located on the exit of zagori to the road leading to Metsovo. Sorry for video quality, HD is only in name as it was a last minute buy of a cheap camera waiting for my GoPro than never arrived.

Το ορειβατικό καταφύγιο βρίσκεται στις πλαγιές του Μαυροβουνίου, πάνω από τη τεχνίτη λίμνη του Αώου, στο Μέτσοβο.
