It's a shame, I missed the view of the Teide because of the clouds. But I had a mystical landscape in front of me

March 13, 2024,Baracán Loop

Pea soup until towards the end so no panoramic views from the summit of Baracán but a decent wee loop none the less. The first ascent is sharp a steep and then you're onto a cracking trail run loop. Mind leave the main trail for the summit before you head down 📸

Very nice paths and a beautiful ridge path.
Unfortunately we didn't see anything on the entire lap 😫. Everything was overcast and a strong wind was blowing. There was drizzle on top. The best part was eating at a small eatery in TeNo Alto, highly recommended.

February 14, 2023,Das Lorbeertor zum Teide – Mirador Baracan nach Teno Alto Runde von Portela Baja

The second most beautiful tour in Tenerife so far. It's just a pity that the island was completely covered in haze. Therefore, unfortunately, there are severe restrictions on photos with a long-distance view. I will repeat again sometime. The last third in particular was brilliant. 4 hours . On the way there is the possibility to eat something in a …

December 2, 2024,🇪🇸Teneriffa 2024: TraumNaTour von El Palmar nach Teno Alto ****

Today's NaTour will be the end of our Tenerife vacation, and not only that, it is also an absolute highlight of our hikes!

The dream trail is incredibly varied: sometimes it goes through evergreen laurel forest with laurel trees and huge tree heathers. Then again it goes past dense prickly pear stands with lots of overripe fruit, the red flowers …

Honestly...I'm simply at a loss for words right now (I'll report back in more detail after we return from our vacation, but for now I'll let the numerous photos speak for themselves...) to adequately describe and appreciate this incredible hike in the "Teno Mountains" in the far west of Tenerife, because those precious hours "up there" were simply amazing hiking! …

Very nice round with a beautiful view and a varied route. But it took us around 1.5 hours longer than Komoot calculated. The ascents and descents are quite strenuous for inexperienced people.

December 15, 2021,Runde von El Palmar (Parkplatz) - Cumbre de Baracan - Teno Alto - Tabaiba-Pass und zurück

Great hike with a wonderful view. (La Gomera) Mostly easy, but sometimes a bit steep. Great place to stop for a break in Teno Alto "Bar Los Bailaderos" - goat meat in sauce - a specialty of the house.

April 17, 2024,TF: El Palmar - Teno Alto - Baracan - Rundweg (2024)

This tour is always beautiful, strenuous at the beginning, but from Teno-Alto it is comfortable with beautiful views.

The highlight was the homemade jam made from nísperos and rhubarb that Michael brought with him. And the fresh croissants... mmmh....And then the cortado that was bought in the village pub... fantastic...
