October 3, 2024,🇪🇸🇮🇨 🔄 LP Caldera de Agua 🌿🌴🌲🌱- La Zarza 🤩

... if you like hiking in the Anaga Mountains of Tenerife, you will love this round trip (or the other way around 😁): a well-maintained path winds its way (sometimes steeply uphill and then downhill again) through this magical forest 🌱🌿🌲... with the "lint roots" (to absorb the moisture from the air) that are so pretty to look at 😃... …

September 18, 2021,Von La Zarza durch den Barranco Urwald und zurück (Rundwanderung)

Short variant of the tour from La Zarza to Don Pedro, we did not descend to Don Pedro as usual but shortened a bit. Since, from our point of view, the route to Don Pedro only makes height. The best part of the round is anyway the Barranco, the Caldera de Aqua and Caboco La Catedral.

Following a landslide, the LaZarza Center is permanently closed (as of May 21, 2025).

The path leads through a shady laurel forest, partially through a riverbed. Trees, shrubs, and deadwood are covered in moss.

A mysterious half-light prevails.

The trail leads through giant ferns to the base of a mighty "cathedral-like" rock formation, open at the top and surrounded by …

June 9, 2022,La Zarza

Very nice moderately difficult circular hike. Ideal to walk in almost any weather, especially if it's Calima, because of the deciduous forest it's pleasantly cool. In winter, after heavy rain, you have to be careful because you have to walk a short distance through water in the creek bed. But it's really only a problem after very heavy rain. But …

March 30, 2024,La Zarza - Mirador de Diña Pola - La Zarza („Märchenwald“)

Wonderful hike starting from Parque Cultural La Zarza. The first part of the hike is simply spectacular and extremely beautiful. It goes through the so-called fairytale forest through three calderas (Coboco de Catedral, Caldera dem Agua and just Caldera). Magnificent rock faces and a beautiful forest accompany us through the gorge. After the Mirador de Doña Pola (extraordinarily beautiful view!!!) …
