From the road of Ziros lake – Rizovouni – Stefani, we turn right on the 4 asphalt road (north). The road becomes a forest road, and two km away on your right side you can see the hills of Kokkinopilos.You leave your car there and you follow the trail of 500-1000m (appropriate boots, watch out the dogs of farmers). The hills of Kokkinopilos is a rare geological and natural phenomenon.

Rains turned this low plateau of red soil (Terra Rossa, clay minerals and iron oxides) into a landscape that constantly changes with small hills and small canyons. The rainy water moves away this smooth red geological material to the plateau of Stefani village and the fields when plowed are red.
