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.

April 11, 2025,Camino Portuguese Tag 10: Caldas des Reis nach Padron

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

May 29, 2022,Camino Portugues - 13 - von Caldas de Reis nach Padron

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 …

October 15, 2024,12. Etappe: Von Caldas de Reis nach Padrón (Portugiesischer Jakobsweg)

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 …

jomi Difficulty: 🟡
(Difficulty levels from easy to brutal: 🔵🟢🟡🔴⚫️)

A very scenic tour with a lot of forest. After 6 km, the first coffee station comes. Since there are so many pilgrims on the trail, there was a long line at the counter. They also offer a breakfast special, which appealed to many.

Yesterday we conjured up a nice dinner in the small kitchen and had a good evening for the three of us.
Today I was the first up and out and about. Although the weather was quite good today, things weren't going well. My foot hurt more than yesterday and so I abandoned the plan to go to Finesterra. Tomorrow will …

June 11, 2025,🇪🇦 Camino Portugues: Padron - Caldas de Reis - Etappe 2 (umgekehrte Richtung)

Today the temperatures were very pleasant for hiking. The scenery and trails were beautiful. And concerned locals kept pointing out that we were going in the wrong direction.

May 5, 2024,Caldas de Reis-Padron

When we left Caldas de Reis, it was dry for a few minutes. But then it started to rain again, like the days before. At some point, even the best rain gear is no longer of any use. You are just as wet on the inside as you are on the outside. The flow of pilgrims is also increasing significantly. …
