The Habsburg Archduke Ludwig Salvator had this path laid out in the 19th century. It leads through the high plateaus of the Tramuntana and offers magnificent views. Surefootedness and good shoes are required. Even if the path is called like this: You probably can't ride a horse here. According to legend, it was so named because there is said to be a painting of the Archduke and his friend, the Austrian Empress Sisi, where she is seated on a mule that he is leading.
