Mount Tymfristos or Velouchi, located between Evrytania and Phthiotis prefectures, belongs to the Pindus mountain range and is connected to Agrafa. From its peak you can see the mountains of central Greece, with Vardousia and Kaliakouda to the south and Panetoliko and Chelidona to the southwest. About 50% of Evrytania is dominated by forests- a higher percentage than any other greek perfecture-, consisting mostly of firs and some deciduous species on lower grounds.
Sadly, uncontrolled construction and the opening of roads within the forest is no longer a rare phenomenon, under the seemingly indifferent eyes of local authorities. On the nortern side, the summit, also known as Psili Korfi (High Peak), constitutes a challenge for those who attempt to climb it from its rocky side. The Karpenisiotis river runs at the mountain’s feet. Spercheios river, springing from mount Tymfristos, was worshipped as a god by the region’s ancient inhabitants. There’s also a reference to Sperceios in the Iliad. A tour of the region's villages is greatly recommended. There’s a museum of national resistance at Koryschades, where the first national council of Greece occurred after the end of WWII. The village has been named a national heritage site, with its landmark, Agios Athanasios church, dating at 1865.
There is also a 10-piste skiing center operating at Diavolotopos, 12 km outside the town of Karpenisi. The fully equipped chalet can house up to 100 people.
Tymfristos is 284 km away from Athens and 368 km from Thessaloniki.
