For Sparta

23.05.16

After over 200km, we marched into Sparta today. Like warriors. On foot. Wounded, but with heads held high. The brave warrior Jessica laid down her weapons here in Sparta today, to return home in peace.

For the young fighter Philippos, the path will lead out of Sparta and once again into the mountains, specifically the Taygetos Mountains, tomorrow. With the support of the gods and the courage of a chosen warrior, he will accomplish what he feels called to do.

The legendary path is said to be one of the most beautiful, as it is written in the ancient scriptures. According to the tales, this mythical path will lead through enchanting pine forests, steep uphill, all the way to the highest point of the Peloponnese peninsula, where one comes very close to the sky at over 2400m.

For Sparta!
