The sculptures lining the path were crafted by international artists during dedicated Wood Sculpture Symposiums held in Xanthi.
The Kosynthos River, which the park follows, originates in the Rhodope Mountains and flows southward toward the Vistonida Lagoon.
The park serves as a biological corridor that allows local fauna to move between the mountain foothills and the urban periphery of Xanthi.
The Path of Life is a riverside park located along the banks of the Kosynthos River in Xanthi, Greece. The trail features a series of wooden sculptures created during artistic symposiums, reflecting the region's cultural engagement with nature. The park serves as a primary recreational corridor for pedestrians and cyclists connecting the northern outskirts of the city to the river valley. The terrain is largely flat, winding through riparian vegetation and shaded groves of plane trees. It functions as a public green space managed to preserve the ecological corridor of the Kosynthos riverbed. The area is integrated into the wider trail network of the Rhodope Mountains foothills.
