The gorge has rich flora and fauna as well as small lakes which are important wetlands for many migratory birds, but also for permanent birds and mammals. The entrance of Ha is very narrow, about 3 m, and its width in many places does not exceed 3 m, too. Its  sides are huge with a height of 200 to 400 meters. In Ha’s last part a 215 meters waterfall, the largest in Greece, is poured. So, I'd call it an ultimate destination for those who dare!
