Completed this annual "mandatory" tour on the saddle today. As usual, with the first break in the Weggental at the cozy spot by the spring. Second break then at the Neckarmüller.
We like the tour: varied, a few tough meters of altitude but not too many and has the optimal length for a nice half-day tour.
CU 2027 (at the latest)!

This tour is considered one of the most beautiful on Flores. And yes, we now know from our own experience why. Even though we hiked it against the general direction of travel, namely from bottom to top: We didn't feel like slippery downhill sections, which are no fun with the many round stones, the high

As if Kai emerged from the coast, uh, the box, the tour appeared on our radar - in the morning, the police gave us a ticket because we parked our car in a supposed parking bay in front of the supermarket. Two armed police officers arrived. The crime scene was secured and the vehicle was moved to safe

I will probably never forget these almost surreal beautiful panoramic views from the crater rim over the lakes spreading within. The intensity of colors, structures, and shapes, the peaceful atmosphere captivated us from the first moment to the last. The two-hour hike down to and around the lakes was

From the (very beautiful) Miradouro, we first went steeply uphill, and that on the road (why we didn't just do this stretch by car remains our secret ;)). This is followed by a very pretty meadow path, where you are inspected by various cows. Caution, some sections are very muddy! Then it goes into the

The approximately 600-meter long path to Poco da Ribeira di Ferreiro is beautifully laid out and leads uphill through a sun-drenched forest. At the top, a fairy tale unfolds, or is it reality? The beauty of this spot with its many silvery, shimmering waterfalls, which rush and glide down lush green slopes

Small hiking detour during our island exploration tour.
Old harbor? Aha. Might not sound too exciting at first.
First you go down. Then you go back up the same way. But it's not boring: dense, varied vegetation, beautiful nature trail with fantastic viewpoints down at the old harbor. I don't understand

A fantastic end to our time on Sao Miguel! Steaming fumaroles. An adventurous path through and over the impressive gorge of Ribiera Grande, with high metal walkways underfoot, the river to the right, and fantastic views in all directions, especially downwards. At the end, a dreamlike waterfall awaits

The first part of the trail leads down to the sea along a rock face: quite steep, but very manageable. Approaching hikers warned of a landslide that had buried a short section of the path ahead of us - but which could be passed with appropriate caution. Again and again, the beautiful views into the bay

This trail is quite popular, which was also evident from the atypical number of cars in the parking lot for the Azores. Fortunately, the hikers spread out well and there were no crowds. Initially, the attractive trail, which is alpine-like in parts, leads constantly uphill, with magnificent views of

What a fantastic tour! We loved everything about it: the enchanting, jungle-like path through the gorge, the pretty stream, the picturesque waterfalls, the great views along the coast, the amazing stair paths, the wonderful flora. As a bonus, there was a super nice and refreshing swimming stop at Praia

The tour is considered a highlight, and so we targeted it first. We found the path itself disappointing and boring - a wide gravel path on which less hiking-inclined fellow tourists could move motorized up to and on the crater rim. The actual hiking trail was indeed closed due to a landslide. Grandiose

A crowded parking lot, a hiking highway full of people up to the summit - sounds daunting at first.
The rush of people naturally has its reasons. It's clear that the island's highest summit attracts anyone even remotely interested in hiking, especially since it's comparatively easy to climb. Almost more

For those looking for a small cliff hike de luxe - here it is!! Insane views, just as you imagine: steel-blue sky over azure ocean, the higher you get, the further the views along the coastline. The path itself is mostly well to very well developed. Before it could turn into noticeable effort, you are

To the young vegetables here: yeees, our pace would have thrown every speed camera into an existential crisis :)
For me, it counts that I even got up there.
Your tip from you two @Philipp @Jacqueline was helpful, especially in the heat 🔥 I would have flatly refused the sunny and even steeper south-facing
