16 km/10 mi from the Zagokhoriá, along the road to Kónitsa a side road branches off on the right to Vítsa and the high village of Monodéndri (37 km/23 mi from Ioánnina), with its weavers' workshops. From here a broad path leads to the little monastery of Ayía Paraskeví (1412), above the steep-sided Víkos gorge. The monastery is now abandoned, but the chapel is open to visitors.
From here a rocky path, the last section of which is very narrow, leads to a hermit's cave, from which there is a fantastic view down into the Víkos gorge.
