To be honest, I&#8217;m not a particularly big fan of trekking, be it on an island or the mainland. However, friends and acquaintances have often told me that they like to make a special trip to Mallorca in the spring just to hike there, as long as it&#8217;s not too hot out. For me, it was hard to imagine spending a whole holiday just walking, until I tried it myself. But I must confess, my hiking experience in Mallorca has taught me a valuable lesson.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e7ba3cb1be2\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e7ba3cb1be2\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/hiking-in-mallorca-in-the-parc-natural-de-mondrago\/#Select_activity_in_the_BLUE_App\" >Select activity in the BLUE App<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/hiking-in-mallorca-in-the-parc-natural-de-mondrago\/#Hiking_in_Mallorca\" >Hiking in Mallorca<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/hiking-in-mallorca-in-the-parc-natural-de-mondrago\/#Five_hiking_trails_in_Parc_natural_de_Mondrago\" >Five hiking trails in Parc natural de Mondrag\u00f3<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/hiking-in-mallorca-in-the-parc-natural-de-mondrago\/#Picnic_in_the_countryside\" >Picnic in the countryside<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/hiking-in-mallorca-in-the-parc-natural-de-mondrago\/#A_dream_for_every_photographer\" >A dream for every photographer<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/hiking-in-mallorca-in-the-parc-natural-de-mondrago\/#The_ideal_travel_time_for_hiking_in_Mallorca\" >The ideal travel time for hiking in Mallorca<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/hiking-in-mallorca-in-the-parc-natural-de-mondrago\/#My_conclusion\" >My conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Select_activity_in_the_BLUE_App\"><\/span>Select activity in the BLUE App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using the BLUE App, I searched for interesting activities near the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tui-blue.com\/rocador\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TUI BLUE Rocador<\/a> at Cala d&#8217;Or and became aware of the hike in Parc natural de Mondrag\u00f3 Nature Reserve. The photos looked gorgeous and so my friend and I decided to give it a try. The nature reserve is located in the south of the island and is easily accessible by car. After just eleven minutes by car, we had already arrived at the car park. Parking is about a ten-minute walk from the beach, where the various hiking trails begin. Parking costs \u20ac5.00 until 5:00 pm, after which you only pay \u20ac2.00. You should refrain from random street parking as much as possible, as it is frowned upon in Mallorca and it can incur hefty penalties.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28379\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28379\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28381 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bucht_mallorca_blaues_wasser.jpg\" alt=\"bay mallorca blue water\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bucht_mallorca_blaues_wasser.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bucht_mallorca_blaues_wasser-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bucht_mallorca_blaues_wasser-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bucht_mallorca_blaues_wasser-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bucht_mallorca_blaues_wasser-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bucht_mallorca_blaues_wasser-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bucht_mallorca_blaues_wasser-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28379\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The turquoise water is not only a marvel to look at, but also to jump into.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiking_in_Mallorca\"><\/span>Hiking in Mallorca<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As soon as we arrived at the Parc natural de Mondrag\u00f3, we already had an incredible view of the turquoise blue Mediterranean, in which white boats bobbed gently. During the whole hike we always had a good view of the water, which stretched in various shades of blue before us. If you take bathing suits, you can take a dip around here in many places, as there were at least two <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/top-10-straende-auf-mallorca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">beautiful swimming beaches<\/a> on our hiking route (Route 2) alone. The temperature was ideal for us since we had about 22 to 25 degrees Celsius (72 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit) in mid-May. Those who come later in the year will definitely want swimming suits, as it can get quite hot for hiking on Mallorca.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28375\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28375\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28377 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/baum_in_bucht_auf_mallorca.jpg\" alt=\"tree in bay on mallorca\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/baum_in_bucht_auf_mallorca.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/baum_in_bucht_auf_mallorca-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/baum_in_bucht_auf_mallorca-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/baum_in_bucht_auf_mallorca-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/baum_in_bucht_auf_mallorca-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/baum_in_bucht_auf_mallorca-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/baum_in_bucht_auf_mallorca-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28375\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Summer Vibes can be felt everywhere.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Five_hiking_trails_in_Parc_natural_de_Mondrago\"><\/span>Five hiking trails in Parc natural de Mondrag\u00f3<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The hiking trails in Parc natural de Mondrag\u00f3 are designed for beginners, but you should still wear durable footwear. We decided to take Route 2, which is a circular hiking trail. This means that the trail starts and ends in the adjacent picnic area. Right from the get-go, we had an excellent view of Cala Mondrago and the opposite beach of s&#8217;Amarador. In between, birds twittered in the trees and boats floated on the sea. Route 2 usually takes 30 minutes, but we needed about three times as long as we took a lot of pictures, videos, and enjoyed a picnic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28371\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28371\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28373 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ausblick_wandern_auf_mallorca.jpg\" alt=\"view hiking on mallorca\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ausblick_wandern_auf_mallorca.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ausblick_wandern_auf_mallorca-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ausblick_wandern_auf_mallorca-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ausblick_wandern_auf_mallorca-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ausblick_wandern_auf_mallorca-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ausblick_wandern_auf_mallorca-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ausblick_wandern_auf_mallorca-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28371\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stunning views can be found everywhere along the hiking route.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The total of five trails can be hiked individually or linked together.

I can say to all photo enthusiasts in advance: You&#8217;ll get your money&#8217;s worth!

For us, this point came when we reached the Cala d&#8217;en Borgit. Luckily, hardly anyone was there, so we could enjoy the peace and nature and relax a little. In the high season there can be more going on here, but this makes the hike no less recommendable.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28387\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28387\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28389 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffe_bucht_mallorca.jpg\" alt=\"ships bay mallorca\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffe_bucht_mallorca.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffe_bucht_mallorca-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffe_bucht_mallorca-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffe_bucht_mallorca-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffe_bucht_mallorca-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffe_bucht_mallorca-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schiffe_bucht_mallorca-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28387\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mallorca as if from a picture-postcard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_dream_for_every_photographer\"><\/span>A dream for every photographer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This hike is particularly ideal for photographers, as there are beautiful photo ops on every corner.

The routes in Parc natural de Mondrag\u00f3 are particularly noteworthy, and easy enough that anyone can do it. The view is fantastic and the surrounding trees offer plenty of shade, which is especially pleasant in summer. If you take sturdy footwear and enough to drink and eat, you can spend a good half a day or a whole day here. And if you need a quick dip, you can just jump into the water quickly, which makes the whole hiking route incredibly inviting.<\/p>\n<p>My conclusion when it comes to hiking in Mallorca: Although I still wouldn&#8217;t want to go on a holiday in Mallorca exclusively for hiking, I&#8217;m sure at some point during my next visit I&#8217;ll lace up my hiking boots again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiking on holiday?
