To the east of Therma are the cold pools and waterfalls of the Fonias River. You can walk from the parking lot after the bridge in about 45 minutes (5 km) along the Fonias Gorge to the first and most beautiful pool with a 12 m waterfall (the path is signposted). There are 2 other beautiful pools and waterfalls uphill, surrounded by wonderful scenery. The 2nd pool is about 1 hour, the 3rd pool about 2 hours from the parking lot. The passages, especially to the third pool, have a high degree of difficulty and are only partially marked by red dots on stones or trees. So caution and good shoes are required. Accidents happen again and again, especially on the way to the third pool.

Since there is no mobile phone reception there, in the event of an accident you have to rely on someone else to get help. Therefore you should never go that way alone! It is not without reason that the creek is called Murderer Creek.

However, you are rewarded by an almost untouched natural landscape and you can refresh yourself from the strenuous hike in natural water basins fed by waterfalls. Bathing naked here is an ice-cold pleasure. There are local guides for people who want to see all of the pools without the risk of getting lost.
