Today's hike was my favorite so far. It took us right into the rugged heart of the Supramonte, along ancient, rocky shepherds' paths. At first, we took a leisurely walk – but then the elevation profile was easy to explain: it was either steep uphill or steep downhill. Time and again, we were treated

Day 4 of Hiking - Off the Beaten Track in Sardinia
After a one-hour transfer, we headed straight into the mountains of Monte Albo. We roamed the impressive limestone landscape along old shepherd's paths – sometimes barren, sometimes green, but always spectacular. Absolute solitude, rugged cliffs, and

Our third day of hiking – between mountains, gorges, and the (not quite so deserted) beach.
We started by transfer near Cala Gonone and found ourselves right in the middle of an adventure: steep, and above all, rocky. The climb up the scenic ridge of the Supramonte, in unbelievably hot temperatures, was

Second day of hiking: Sukhumot – Monte Tuttavista
Unfortunately, no hikes start directly from our accommodation, so we were taken to a new route every day – and picked up again. Today we took the bus towards Monte Tuttavista. The journey was a bit of an adventure – at least for me: The last section was

This year, our hiking group headed to Italy—more specifically, to Sardinia. The flight from Düsseldorf to Olbia was quick, just two hours, and our bus was already waiting at the airport.
After about an hour and a half drive through a fairly green, hilly landscape, we arrived at our accommodation, "Ecoparco

The 8th day and therefore the last day of our hiking trip was another very special highlight.
In terms of the route, this stage is one of the longer ones on the Camiño dos Faros. Nemiña is the official start. We took a shortened route from the beach at Lires, saving ourselves a few kilometers. From there

7th day of the "Camiño dos Faros"
Today we needed to be in good shape again, as there were several challenging climbs ahead of us. But the route was also challenging.
The vegetation also made things more difficult. Although we only had to cover around 17 km in total, several kilometers to the left and

This is actually the longest stage of the Camiño dos Faros, at over 30 kilometers. As you can see in the quick overview, we took a big shortcut. (Shuttle service). We didn't start from Camariñas, but several kilometers later from Porto de Cereixo.
Today was a relaxed day. Not very long, on easy-to-walk

Today we have 26 km ahead of us. We set off after the transfer in Arou under cloudy skies and a stiff breeze. As we did before, we went up and down along the Atlantic, which was clearly audible today. The more challenging part took us along the rugged coast through an impressive granite landscape, then

Our last tour in Sardinia took us to the nature reserve at the easternmost point of the island. This time, the paths were rather wide and not particularly exciting – and also mercilessly hot. Luckily, we had enough water and sunscreen with us.
After all the hikes across the island, this stage was the
