At western Pieria Mountains and at the entrance of the stream “Lafista”,  starts one of the most beautiful and popular gorges of Macedonia, the Gorge of the nine muskrats, or otherwise the “Skepasmeno”. The stream starts from Katafygi village and flows into the Lake Polyphytos, near Velvendo, a small town in the regional unit of Kozani.
