The path narrows, pulling you deeper into a world shaped by time.Here, in May 1941, Allied troops and locals took the same steps you take now—desperate yet determined, bound for freedom. This is not just a hike. It’s a walk through courage, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between people and their land.Yet the gorge is more than history—it’s alive. Wild thyme perfumes the air.
