Valga River Forest Trail

Highlight • Trail

This point forms a very special part of the forest because the trees form a kind of gallery that seems to wrap around the trail. It is a really beautiful picture and the walk, very pleasant.

Second-to-last day of the Camino. My right tibial tendon is causing trouble. So I set off early and eased off a bit.

This was the penultimate stage of the Way of St. James. The start was this morning at 7 a.m. at the bridge with a dream photo. There were a few small hills to climb, but otherwise no problems with the hike. Luckily it wasn't hot today, but fresh and around noon 22 degrees, so the best hiking weather. The hostel …

It was still raining at 7 a.m., but after breakfast we no longer needed rain protection. On today's stage we wandered through a beautiful forest covered in ferns and moss, made up of oaks, chestnuts, willows, birches, alders, hawthorns, rowans, eucalyptus and laurel. Since it had rained so much recently, the streams were full of water and the forest was …

Today was another beautiful tour with lots of interesting views. The sun was a little hidden behind the clouds today, which was a good thing.

We went through small towns and lots of unspoilt forest.

Because of the rain - we found out today that it rains more in Galicia than in the whole of Spain - everything looks lush …
