Downhill: Long loop
Mt. Hymettus: Downhill
Long loop
With its 60 km, it is definitely the longest MTB route on Mt. Hymettus.
The route starts from the Kesariani guardhouse, rising almost to the top, descends to Sesi and then runs across the western side of the mountain, crossing Aixoni, Terpsithea, then passing over Argiroupoli, over Ilioupolis and Kareas monastery to return to the starting point through the Koutalas area.
Because of the length and complexity of the walkway, we leave the rider to study the map with the help of simulation tool.
Since the specific route does not go through refueling points (except Terpsithea where a short detour to the central square will help you to refill your fluids and calories) 2-3 liters of water and sufficient food are the necessary supplies for the route. A mobile phone might help in case of trouble.
