March 3, 2025,Bergwanderung zum Pico de la Zarza

A great mountain hike to a magnificent viewpoint. However, the descent through the cacti was a pure climbing adventure that was extremely strenuous for kilometers. But you can avoid it by taking the same route back. Or just making a "detour" to the cacti🌋🌞👍

I waited especially for the best day to climb Fuerteventura's highest mountain. As I'd noticed beforehand, it was mostly shrouded in clouds. Today, it finally worked out. Perfect conditions with blue skies and magnificent views. On the way back, which no one else was doing, I made a fantastic discovery. Wild cacti in abundance, like I've never seen before. A …

October 25, 2023,Auf dem Dach von Fuerteventura - Pico de la Zarza

Climbed the highest peak on Fuerteventura with my wife and sister...at least I did. But neither of them are used to such hikes. So they both took a break at 620 meters while I climbed to 807 meters. Tour was fun so far, it was just a little warm and sunny. Either pack well, like me, or apply good cream. …

The route is not suitable for strollers.

The route is classified as DIFFICULT.

Please make sure you have enough water, sunscreen and sturdy shoes (ideally hiking boots) with you.

April 29, 2026,Den höchsten Berg der Insel (fast) geschafft🙈🐐🌵

Right on the first full day of vacation, we wanted to go high!💪
The plan was to go from 0 to just over 800m - Pico de la Zarza🌄
From the beach promenade, it's a steep climb that other tourists gladly skipped for almost 2 km (the cheaters😋).
Well, in hindsight, that would probably have been the better idea for …
