Amedzofe, one of the highest inhabited communities in Ghana at more than 762 meters, is perched at the foot of Mt. Gemi. Visitors can hike up the mountain and to a lovely waterfall in the valley. The 4-meter-tall cross on the top of Mt. Gemi was constructed by German missionaries in the 1930s, along with a striking church situated on one of the highest points in the community. Both the mountain and church site offer breathtaking views all the way to Lake Volta in clear weather.
When To Visit
Early morning is the best time to climb Mt. Gemi, since it has no shade. The falls trail is partly shaded. Peak water flows in the falls are May through November and its volume may be greatly reduced or non-existent from January through March.
What To Do
Hike the steep trail to the top of Mt. Gemi and enjoy the fabulous 360-degree view. Note that visibility is often poor during the Harmattan season (November-March). Time: 1.5 hours. Difficulty: 
Descend from the community through farms to Amedzofe Falls, stopping in route at a summer house with great views of the valley and adjacent communities. The last portion of the trail is very steep and has rope hand rails for safety. Time: 2 hours Difficulty:
Walk through the communities and count the many steps to the old German church and its separate bell tower on the hilltop, before being rewarded with splendid views. Time: 30 minutes. Difficulty: 
Wander through the small local market on the main square and watch men intently playing local board games. Also note the ancient chairs in the main square construction of stone slabs.
