Trail Reviews
Quite a few technically very difficult parts. Big differences in height, loose stones, very slippery,...
The hike is already borderline in May in the heat. In addition, the paths go over several boulder fields and overall accuracy is required in many areas. But still beautiful!!!
An introductory hike around the Sierra de Bèrnia with fantastic views of the coast. We went a little way up to the summit, but only until the via ferrata started (you can do it, but don't have to!). The scramble through the tunnel – the famous hole through the ridge – was spectacular. Great tour! 🔝
the route begins in the runar recreational area or runar houses, we take the path to the right we go up first to the font del runar we continue to the left until the ruins of bernia, a fort built in the 16th century BY KING FELIPE II to defend the coast from different attacks after this ascent the road goes to a gentle slope until the houses of BERNIA good views, along the well-marked track we arrive at the source of bernia From here begins the hardest climb of the journey to the FORAT pass, a hole that crosses the mountains to the south with very good views of the coast and the marina below, a good place to eat something, from here follow the path without losing the After a short time we found a detour to the cave paintings (we went up but we did not see anything, they are very deteriorated) we take the road again until we reach the car very nice route worth it. to enjoy
We left early on this beautiful sunny day to walk around the Bernia. Was tough for my untrained legs and the calves felt nice at the end. But it was fun!
the hiking time of just under 3 hours calculated by the Komoot app is absolutely WRONG. The ACTUAL hiking time was about 5 hours !!!!!! The STARTING POINT of this tour was possibly sponsored by the restaurant owner so that hikers could park and stop at his place. Therefore there is an extra 1 KM hike (one way) to the actual circular hiking trail
A beautiful route to loosen your skin and enjoy nature.
