path on the right-hand side is the short version of the nature trail and returns to Smigies picnic site. Follow the ‘Long Way 5km’ sign on the wider track, straight on. Here the path runs on level ground with excellent views. Ignore the adjoining dirt road on the right and keep straight on as the track bends slightly left. Very soon, at the next junction, go right as the green arrow indicates.
Follow the dirt track slightly downhill by the dry streambed. Juniper and pine trees are the main vegetation on both sides of the road. Pass the ruins of a house and then go downhill. After the 3km mark, follow the green arrow to the left. Approximately an hour after leaving Smigies picnic site, notice the smelting tower of a former magnesium mine on your right. Walk up to the tower and a little further on you will find the shafts of the mine.
A number of magnesium mines in the Akamas region were abandoned at beginning of the 20th century. Today the remains of kilns indicate the former mining activity.
