Σπηλαιοβάραθρο Καιάδα
Ιστορικό σημείο
Βρίσκεται σε ένα φαράγγι κοντά στον οικισμό Τρύπη. Η είσοδός του έχει επιχωματωθεί και σήμερα έχει διάμετρο μισό μέτρο. Το εξερευνημένο τμήμα του έχει μήκος 50 μέτρα και κλίση 35° – 50°. Το σπήλαιο ήταν γνωστό για πολλά χρόνια ότι είχε μέσα οστά, όμως η πρώτη συστηματική έρευνα έλαβε χώρα το 1983. Τα οστά σχηματίζουν ένα παχύ στρώμα στο βάθος του σπηλαίου και προέρχονται από ενήλικες άντρες μαζί με λίγες γυναίκες. Υποστηρίζεται πως δεν κατέληξαν εκεί σκόρπια, αλλά ρίχθηκαν ως ακέραια σώματα.

We start from Logastra in front of the church of Agios Dimitrios in a west-northwest direction, we pass the church of Taxiarches in the village and after the last houses we go out on a rural road. Turn right and at the bend turn right again on a path. After about 400 m we come out on a rural road and turn left where after a while we rejoin a path. From this point, if we continue to the left on the road at a distance of about 300 m, we reach the small church of Agios Nikolaos (Memorial of May 9), a point of excellent view both towards the valley and Sparta as well as towards Taygetos and Lagada. On the path we continue on the ridge downhill through a forest of oaks, aspalathus etc. for about 600 m and we come to an intersection where we continue on the road straight ahead where after about 300 m at the new intersection we turn right again onto a rural road where after 250 m approximately ignore the road that turns left in 350 m at the new intersection we turn left. After about 750 m we ignore the road that goes to the left and after 550-600 m we meet an asphalt road and turn left where we soon turn right into a path through liophytes which soon brings us to the Knakiona river which we pass through the very well-preserved arched stone bridge. To the left of the bridge we follow the path, parts of which are cobblestones, and we come out on a road to the first houses of Trypi.

We take the left dirt road, at the beginning the road has cement for about 200 m, we pass by the biggest stream of the village called Abogdamos, we do not turn left or right on the rural roads we meet and after twenty minutes we reach the main road Vlachohori – Pikoulianika. We turn left and in fifteen minutes we are at the parking lot of the upper gate of the Castle. We pass the arched arch on the south side of the parking lot, follow the downhill rural road and in ten minutes turn left onto the path and after crossing the Mystriotis river we meet the Mystras – Taugeti path.

In the past, there were large mammals that today have disappeared such as bears, deer, roe deer, wolves and even the lynx. Today, 19 mammals have been observed in the mountain fauna, including the fox, badger, ferret, hare and hedgehog. Wildcat and jackal have also been reported although the population status of these species is not well documented. The only large mammal that is often seen is the wild boar.
In the event of the appearance of snakes, as a preventive measure, the hiker can be careful where he steps and where he puts his hands. If you encounter a snake, stay calm and keep a distance of at least two to three meters without disturbing it. In the event that you are bitten by a snake, stay calm, call 166 or 112 and take no action at all, except go to the health center with the help of an attendant. We recommend that you never walk alone.
