Hiking

This Route is recognized as one of the most beloved and frequented in El Hierro. It begins at the La Llanía fountain, where the imposing heather and capricious lichens welcome you with their natural charm.

At the El Lomo fountain, the landscape changes before your eyes. Here, you pass through an area marked by fire, now in the process of being reborn through plant repopulation. If you need to regain energy, this can be a good place to stop along the way.

When you think that the path can no longer surprise you, you arrive at the Las Brujas dance hall. It is a magical enclave that whispers ancient stories and invites you to immerse yourself in its mystical atmosphere, reminding you that the island is steeped in myths and legends.

This Route, approximately seven kilometers long, is perfect to enjoy with the family thanks to its gentle slopes and well-maintained trails. You can easily arrive in your own vehicle and bring a picnic, as there are no places to stock up along the way.

Very easy hike through beautiful landscapes. I have already done large parts of this hike on a mountain bike. The trail deviates from the hike in parts.

Extremely beautiful hike with great views, a volcanic crater and through a beautiful forest and beautiful vegetation. We didn't even notice the steep climb according to the elevation profile. A clear proof of our excellent fitness!!!
