Gorge of Mili

Reviewed By GabriellaJR - Copenhagen, Denmark

The Gorge of Mili is definitely worth the visit - deserted houses, stunning landscape, and a good hiking track are attractive indeed. Recently, several wooden bridges have been affected by a landslide, so you need to be a bit "creative" as to find your ways or crossings. It is not so easy though to find the way back down to the village/sea as the few signs provided are misleading or simply stop. Use a virtual map or your sense of orientation :).
