Hike to Kjeragbolten
The most famous stone
Kjeragbolten is located in the Lysefjord area, which is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Norway, located several tens of kilometers east of Stavanger. Kjeragbolten in the translation of the Kjerag wedge is an interesting geomorphological toy of nature under the top of the Kjerag hill. It is a several-ton round boulder, which is stuck in a gap between two cliffs. The starting point for hiking is the Øygardstølen car park at an altitude of 640 m above sea level. The hiking itself takes about 5 hours and is very well marked, passing over the top of Nesatindane. The very beginning of the tour is pretty much out of sight, when it is necessary to overcome the first ascent of about 165 meters. Chains are set up to help in the rock, and in case of rain or icing it is the most unpleasant part of the hike, then the last one is to descend into a small valley and climb the smooth rock steeply up to the top plateau, followed by relatively flat terrain. The boulder is wedged above an abyss 980 meters deep and below it flows the 25th highest waterfall in the world Kjeragfossen. continue reading

Winter ascent to Ginger

Winter views in nice weather are just as fascinating if not more beautiful than summer ones. continue reading
Hike through the rocks of Hruboskalsko
Walk in the interior of rocks
Compared with entirely relaxing walk along the red tourist trail from Hrubá Skála to Wallenstein (“Valdštejn”) is the walk through the interior of Hruboskalsko rock town a little more challenging. You can expect not dozens, but hundreds of steps up and down. Expended effort is rewarded with beautiful views not only of the rock town, but also of the hills and mountains north of the Bohemian Paradise. continue reading

Hike to the peninsula of Sao Lourenco
The easternmost tip of the island
Ponta de Sao Lourenco is a popular tourist destination. While the rest of Madeira abounds in lush vegetation, this part of the island is very dry. Only in the winter months do interesting plants turn green and bloom here. The hike is not particularly strenuous, its charm lies mainly in the views of the wild rocky coast. However, the wind usually blows here continuously and in its gusts it tries to keep both tourists and landing planes, which approach the airport in Funchal through this eastern area. continue reading
Hike in Barranca Masca
In the grip of volcanic rocks to the oce
Masca Gorge begins in the village bearing the same name. Most ordinary tourists overcome the 600 meter descent to the ocean, from where they will be taken by pre-arranged boat to one of the nearest tourist centers. But Masca is not only about going down and back. In the narrow ravine of the gorge, which is hemmed by several hundred meters high rocks, there is a microclimate even without any breeze and water supply is a must. You will be rewarded by fantastic views of the rock formations, beautiful bay and good feelings from the hike, which is shown in guides as one of the most difficult in Tenerife. continue reading

Ascent to Triglav
Ascent to the highest mountain in Slovenia

Ascent to Karleskopf and Polleskogel
March opposite the glacier arena
The hike from the Braunschwaiger Hütte mountain hut to the Karleskopf and Polleskogel hills is a short yet amazing view. However, if you have this as a day trip from Mittelberg „at the bottom“ of the Pitztal valley and back, it will definitely take you. A short detour leads to Karleskopf (2,902 m above sea level) from a relatively pleasant mountain path leading to the Pitztaler Jöchle saddle (2,996 m above sea level) – the starting point for a short ascent along cracked stones to the top of Polleskogel (3,032 m above sea level). continue reading
Levada Hike 25 Fontes
From Rabacal to 25 springs

The starting point is the parking lot on the road ER110. From here, a descending narrow path leads to the Rabacal Forest Administration building. It is not such an attractive part on foot compared to the following laurel forest and levada, so it is better to take the journey on a small minibus that runs here. continue reading
