Summary

[edit]
Description
Ελληνικά: καρστικές πηγές, Αροάνιος ποταμός, Αχαΐα, Πελοπόννησος. Από το αμμώδες χαλίκι εκρέει πολων μικρων έξοδων υπό την σκιά ενός μικρού δασους του πλαντάνικο. Το νερό προέρχεται από τα ανθρακικά βουνά Αροάνια (1500-2300 μέτρα). Σε μια επιφάνεια χαλικιού μόλις 30x800 μέτρων πολύ μικρές έξοδοι ενώνονται σε ένα εντυπωσιακά μεγάλο ρεύμα: Ο Αροάνιος. Δυστυχώς αυτό το σπάνιου γεώτοπου δεν χαίρει της προστασίας του νομού. Στενά οικονομικά συμφέροντα για τουριστική εκμετάλλευση κυριαρχούν το τοπίο.

English: karst springs of river Aroanios (Achaea, Peloponnese). The springs emerge directly from limestone rock or from loose sediment, a ground of sandy gravel, well shaded by a forest of Platanus orientalis. The water comes from the carbonate Aroania Mountains (1500- 2341 m) and also from joints fed by the katavothren (Greek term for ponors/sinkholes) of the Feneos depression. On a surface of only 30x800 m 41 tiny outlets result in a remarkable large brook.
Unfortunately this rare kind of a geotope is not suitably protected. The site is dominated by touristic-commercial interests.

Deutsch: Karstquellen des Flusses Aroanios (Achaia, Peloponnes). Direkt aus den festen, ausstreichenden Karstschichten und aus dem sandig-kiesigen Lockersediment des Talbodens entspringen kleine Quellen, westlich des "Aroania/Chelmos", einem Hochgebirge (1500-2341 m). Das Karbonatmassiv schüttet große Karstquellen, die in allen vier Himmelsrichtungen Flüsse, u.a. auch den See Stymfalia, speisen. Auf einer von Morgenländischen Platanen total verschatteten Fläche von nur 30x800 m haben 41 kleine im Kies aufbrechende Gerinne bereits einen großen, wasserreichen Bach gebildet.
Das Gelände wird leider nicht angemessen (natur-)geschützt bzw. behördlich kontrolliert (Stand:2006, 2014). Dieses Juwel eines Naturdenkmals wird von touristisch-kommerziellen Interessen dominiert!
