Forest Hollow Trail (Route 10)

Highlight • Trail

The ravine leads through the middle of the forest. It is shady and so the climb is not that difficult given the high humidity in the Azores. The further you follow it, the narrower the path becomes. Just great.

August 16, 2023,Wanderung rund um Santa Luzia

So far the most beautiful and varied tour on Pico. It is best to park in St. Luzia at the church.
Unfortunately, some sections also ran along roads.
Many parts run on small paths, often in the pleasant shade of trees.
You can also split the tour.

June 22, 2024,Insel Pico - Meer meets wine 🍷🌊🏝️

A hike on the Azores island of Pico that combines sea and wine culture. The seemingly endless vineyards surrounded by black lava rock are even a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but there was also a lot to discover away from that, including microwaves, a colorful cemetery and a decorative tele-kettle along the way 🌞🍷🏝️😀

August 22, 2025,Azoren, Pico, Rundwanderung ab Santa Luzia über Arcos und Lajido

An unexpectedly beautiful, varied circular tour, which, after a short section through the interior, leads mostly along the fascinating lava coast and the wine-growing regions.
Refreshment stops are available in the small villages along the way.
