 Tourist Guide of Drama - Mount Falakro
The geological substratum mainly consists of marble (crystalline limestone) but also of granite with a special characteristic being the presence of karst phenomena (the existence of underground conduits which immediately remove rainwater from the area).
As a consequence of these karst phenomena the springs at Mylopotamos and Drama are fed but it is difficult for soil and high altitude vegetation to form here and for this reason the mountain takes the name "Bald" which in Greek is "falakro".
Thus οn Falakro one can find many rare species οf softwood plants which form valuable ecosystems on the peaks, in the meadows and οn the rocky outcrops οf the mountain.
