Hike through tranquil forest to ascend Mount Gemi (2500 ft.) for panoramic, breathtaking views, then make a short but steep descent to the dramatic Gbadzeme Waterfall. A variety of other hiking trails allow you to explore other waterfalls and pools.

This picturesque hilltop settlement has a invigorating, breezy climate and overlooks the lush Volta region. In the town, a fascinating mix of historical influences are evident, from stone reclining chairs in the village, to pre-WWI German architecture.
