Travel to Stemnitsa (Greece) with lamda3 | λ3
Stemnitsa is situated in the slopes of the Mainalo Mountain. While looking down the Gorge of the river Lousios the view towards Stemnitsa seems to be incredible as the beauty of the village in combination with the beauty of nature coexist harmoniously. Known as the country of the Goldsmiths, Stemnitsa was also popular for other crafts. There were fabled and prominent craftsmen like those who were making bells, polishers and steelmakers who over the years were processing silver, gold, and copper. As a result, their craft became legendary in the Balkans. Also, there were confectioners who in the period of the 1990 supplied Peloponnisos with their wrapped syrupy sweets in little bites.

Top 6 Incredible Canyons Or Gorges In The World
Top 6 Incredible Canyons Or Gorges In The World
Blyde River Canyon, South Africa
The Blyde River Canyon, located in Mpumalanga of South Africa, is one of the most picturesque canyons in the world. In fact, it is considered a significant natural feature. It is 25 km long and about 750 m deep on an average, and is perhaps the world’s largest green canyon. Consisting mostly of sandstone, it supports a wide variety of flora and fauna, and is protected by the Nature Reserve.
Gorges Du Verdon, France
The Verdon Gorge in the southeast of France is one of the most amazing gorges in the world. It is a river canyon that is often dubbed as the most beautiful one in the whole of Europe. It has a depth of 700 m and a length of 25 km. The erosive action of the Verdon River, noted for its turquoise-green water, formed the gorge, and together, they form the most distinguishing feature of the location.
Tiger Leaping Gorge, China
The Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the deepest and most scenic gorges in the world, located on the Jinsha River, near Lijian City of Yunnan in China. It has a maximum depth of 3790 meters, from the river to the peak. It is a spectacularly large gorge, and the Naxi people are the inhabitants in this gorge, living in a handful of small hamlets, and living on grains as well as foreign hikers in the gorge.
Bryce Canyon, USA
The Bryce Canyon of Utah, US, looks like a natural amphitheatre, with columns made of limestone, called hoodoo. It came into focus as one of the most stunning canyons in the world at the start of the 1900s, when its unearthly vista was described in magazines and newspapers. Its rim varies from 2400 to 2700 metres. Though hard to access, it is a popular stargazing spot with a view of 7400 stars.
Kali Gandaki Gorge, Nepal
The Kali Gandaki Gorge in Nepal, one of the most wonderful gorges in the world, was formed by the Kali Gandaki, or Gandaki River in the Himalayas. Some records define it as the world’s deepest gorge, with a depth of 5571 lower than Annapurna I at a point between Annapurna I and Dhaulagiri, where its elevation is 2520 m. Known for shaligram fossils, it is a trade route between India and Nepal. See also; Top 10 Most Magical Places in Asia.
Indus Gorge, Pakistan
The Indus Gorge in Pakistan is considered the deepest, and one of the most incredible gorges in the world. The Indus River being one of the major rivers in Asia and the most important river of Pakistan, it cuts to a depth of about 4500-5200 metres along its course near the Nanga Parbat massif as it passes the Nanga Parbat, and thus forms gigantic gorges, exposing the middle and lower crusts.

Το αρχαίο Βουκάτιο στην Παραβόλα
Στα βόρεια της λίμνης Τριχωνίδας, στην κωμόπολη Παραβόλα του δήμου Αγρινίου, στο κέντρο του οικισμού υψώνεται ένας λόφος που ονομάζεται Παλιόκαστρο, με πανοραμική θέα στη λίμνη Τριχωνίδα, στην κορυφή του οποίου σώζονται τα ερείπια του αρχαίου αιτωλικού οχυρού Βουκάτιον.
Στα ερείπια του κάστρου συνυπάρχουν στοιχεία από την Ελληνιστική, την Βυζαντινή και την Οθωμανική περίοδο.
Πρόκειται για μικρό φρούριο και οικισμό.
Η οχύρωση της πόλης αποτελούνταν από ευρύ περίβολο ο οποίος σήμερα διατηρείται καλύτερα στο βόρειο τμήμα του, όπου σε ορισμένα σημεία το τείχος διατηρεί σχεδόν το αρχικό του ύψος. Προς νότον ο περίβολος εκτεινόταν στο πεδινό τμήμα που μεσολαβεί ως τη λίμνη Τριχωνίδα, τα ίχνη του όμως βαθμιαία χάνονται, με αποτέλεσμα να μην είναι σαφής η συνολική μορφή και έκτασή του.
Στην κατασκευή της οχύρωσης παρατηρούνται διαφοροποιήσεις που υποδηλώνουν επιδιορθώσεις και συμπληρώσεις της οχύρωσης από την αρχική φάση, του 5ου αιώνα, έως και τα Ελληνιστικά Χρόνια, όταν η πόλη ήταν μέλος της Αιτωλικής Συμπολιτείας.
Η ακρόπολη, η οποία ήταν ενσωματωμένη στη βόρεια πλευρά, ήταν μικρή και μακρόστενη. Η είσοδός της ήταν στη δυτική πλευρά και πλαισιωνόταν με ημικυκλικούς πύργους. Εξωτερικά ακολουθούσε τη φυσική μορφολογία με μία σειρά ακανόνιστων προεξοχών.
Στη ΝΑ γωνία της ακρόπολης αξιοσημείωτος είναι ένας ημικυκλικός πύργος ο οποίος διατηρείται και σήμερα σε σημαντικό ύψος και απαρτίζεται από είκοσι δόμους, τρία παράθυρα και δύο πόρτες. Ο πύργος αυτός επικοινωνούσε τόσο με την ακρόπολη, όσο και με το υπόλοιπο τμήμα της οχύρωσης. Στη νότια πλευρά του διατηρούνται ενδείξεις ύπαρξης ξύλινης κλίμακας, η οποία μπορεί να οδηγούσε σε ξύλινη στέγη ή πλατφόρμα.
Τα τείχη είναι κτίσματα του 4ου π.Χ. Οι ημικυκλικοί και τετράγωνοι πύργοι είναι κτίσματα των βυζαντινών χρόνων.
Κοντά στον πύργο βρίσκονται και χαλάσματα τουρκικού οχυρού.
Από τη Βυζαντινή περίοδο είναι και ο παρακείμενος ναός της Παναγίας του Κάστρου (Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου), ο οποίος είναι περιορισμένος στο ανατολικό μέρος του μεσαίου κλίτους παλαιοχριστιανικής βασιλικής του 6ου αι. Ιδιαίτερη σημασία έχει η μορφολογία της αψίδας.
Το σημερινό της μέγεθος είναι αποτέλεσμα παρεμβάσεων και καταστροφών κατά την εποχή του Δεσποτάτου και αργότερα της Τουρκοκρατίας.
Η περιοχή κυριεύθηκε από τους Οθωμανούς Τούρκους και παρέμεινε κατακτημένη ως το 1828 οπότε και συμπεριλήφθηκε στο πρώτο αυτόνομο κράτος με τον ερχομό του Καποδίστρια για να αποτελέσει τελικά το 1830 τμήμα οργανικό του πρώτου ανεξάρτητου ελληνικού κράτους.
