Firebreak Ridge Trail

Highlight • Trail

Here the otherwise narrow path over the mountain ridges is wider and in the firebreak. Great views in all directions.

Wonderful view over Erjos with Teide in the background. In the morning the visibility is often still cloudless.

Very nice hike, on which Willi and Chico accompanied me and, as the pictures show, with great weather.

First it went over a mountain ridge with wonderful views of the surroundings, then mostly through the forest.

The route does not involve any dangerous step but it is true that you have to be physically prepared because there is a fairly steep climb

What a contrast to the hike 3 weeks ago. The last time we looked for shade and today there were a lot of clouds and finally drizzle at 17 degrees. Nevertheless, the laurel forest is always beautiful. Many thanks to my nice hiking companion.

Beautiful hike that first leads over the wide Pista del Agua and then only over narrow paths through the laurel forest. Finally, the round leads over a ridge with a wonderful view (partly a bit slippery on the descent).
Parking options at the beginning of the Pista del Agua: Directly at the "Erjos" place-name sign, take a sharp left onto …

The first two kilometers were difficult today. It's 33 degrees, it's uphill on a mountain ridge and the sun is burning mercilessly. Finally we go to the laurel forest. We gasp a lot and let a waterfall flow into us. Now it goes along shady paths through the forest and so it's easy to endure.

There's not much to say about the area around Erjos: always good, especially when there are hot temperatures. Then - again today - it is pleasantly cool because 95% of the paths lead through the shady forest. Only around 1 p.m., during the last 500 meters, did we run through the sun...

An excellent route through a laurel forest where we will enjoy a cool and humid environment at the whim of the trade winds.
An incredible route to do at any time of the year...
