Views, picnic and pirate bays - 28 hiking fans experience varied tours on the Balearic Island
Insights in Mallorca's nature, culture and history shaped this year's hiking holiday of the Odenwald Club (OWK) Groß-Gerau. 28 members were on the Balearic Island in mid -May - with daily stages in two groups of around 35 and 50 kilometers each.
The trip began with a leisurely exploration of the capital Palma. The participants from the Santa Maria cathedral and the culinary impressions in the largest market hall on the island, the Mercat de L'Olivar, were impressed.
Coastal hike with a mallorcan picnic
In the Andratx region, a route led through terrace fields with almond and Johannis bread trees. The highlight of the stage was a picnic with typical Mallorcan specialties that was served in the middle of the forest. After this refreshment, we went down to the fishing village of San Telmo.
Another day of hiking was followed by the historical path of Archduke Ludwig Salvator with insights into old limestone and coal. The goal was Valldemossa with his colorfully painted tiles that tell stories about St. Catalina Thomás.
Serra de Tramuntana and historic railway
In the area of the Serra de Tramuntana, a tour from the Mirador de Ses Barques down to Fornalutx. After a stop in the picturesque mountain village, the path followed by lemon grove to Sóller. There was a special experience with the "Red Blitz" to Palma.
The final migration went on the cliffs of Llucmajor - past the lighthouse from Cabo Blanco to the Cala Beltran bay. 144 stone steps later another picnic waited for the participants before going back to the district in Peguera.
Hiking attendant Beate Bolbach thanked Peter Jung and Irmgard Ehrhard for the organization at the end of the trip. In total, the groups covered around 35 and 50 kilometers.
