It’s all hard work but it’s all worth it 😁 do you have any other hiking trips planned in the Alps?

⁠actually just returned from the Austrian alps, this is why I can relate 😅 (went to Gerlos with my two sons)

Great tip, thanks Tony! (You can tell we were newbies)

There is no camping inside the park, but we camped at Camping Königstein, which is about a 25 minute drive To the parking lot of the national park. There is also a campsite in Rathen, from which you can take a boat across the river and walk right into the park which you may find more convenient. Search “campingplatz” or “zeltwiese” in google maps and you’ll find some options.

Glad it was helpful! We hope you have fun on the trail!

The link to AllTrails is in the description. Let us know how you found the trail when you get back 😄

@@trailtalestravel - Got the link. I can't tell you how appreciative i am. This is exactly what we were looking for and I have seen a slew of videos and Alltrails previews. ..... and i just subscribed ...

🥰 this is the reason we make these videos, for exactly this reason. Thank you for the kind words Tom! By the way, we also have 2 other videos from the Dolomites which you might enjoy, for trails on Seceda and Lagazuoi

Thanks Kevin, glad you enjoyed it. Let us know if you try out the hike for yourself 😁

20km is definitely getting into sore feet territory, and not everyone in our party was as keen a hiker as us, but maybe next time I’ll give the longer version a go! Thanks for the recommendation

It’s pretty much the highest point on this trail. You’d need to take a different trailhead to go higher up stream.

@@trailtalestravelI assume it’s the area were you can rock climb with your own gear

There were people climbing with to their own gear in the middle section of the trail, we didn’t see any climbers at the top. Have a look at the hike in AllTrails, linked in the video description. You can see this particular trail only goes up to the falls, it doesn’t go higher. There are other trails that go higher up, but the starting point for them is different.

@@trailtalestravel thanks

There are park rangers at the scout lookout trailhead and again at the start of Angels Landing trail. The fact that there aren’t too many people on the trail means the permit system is working. I also took care not to film too many people; showcasing the hike, not the hikers 😉

You’ll have to visit, it’s so beautiful!

Many people do, but just be very careful and find a safe spot to do it. The rocks are pretty slippery and as you saw there’s a big drop

@@trailtalestravel thanks

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it!

We did! Check out the video here: ua-cam.com/video/oaDiedzGqRs/v-deo.htmlsi=DKHM5zsmxxtW2189

Thanks for the clarification, I’ve fixed the typo in the title.

We’re glad you enjoyed the video! Our time slot was after 12pm, and we started at exactly noon. It was very bright, very hot. Almost no shade on the way up to scout lookout.

Regrettably most of the Levadas are not near where people live, so getting a bus directly to a trailhead is tough. I spent some time looking into this for you and didn’t see anything that jumped out. However, you can still enjoy this hike - you can take the 56 bus to Santana (about an hour from Funchal) and then take a taxi the rest of the way. It’s busy enough in the summer that you should have no difficulty in getting a taxi back to the bus stop for your return journey. The staff on site at Parque Florestal das Queimadas should also be able to help call one for you if needed.

That’s right. It’s known both as the left fork and the bottom up route.

You can see the highlights in 1 day, but there is much more to the park than just this one hike. I would recommend 2-3 days to see everything.

The total distance mentioned is out and back. You can view the trail in AllTrails (see link in description) La distance totale mentionnée est aller et retour. Vous pouvez consulter le sentier dans AllTrails (voir lien dans la description)

Thank you! Cheers!

The conditions will be very similar to what was shown in the video. The snow on the trail is not a hazard, but you might get a wet foot if you step in a deep pocket.

@@trailtalestravel So the video taken was at the beginning of the june?

We were there June 16. So almost exactly the same time of year.

@@trailtalestravel Thanks a lot for your reply.

Let us know how you get on when go visit!

Glad you enjoyed it Wei, thanks for sharing your experiences on the trail 😁

Yes, there are two options: 1. If you look at the route we took in all trails (link in description) you can follow the route in reverse, following the eastern route to the summit. 2. You can take the gondola to the top of the mountain and walk down through the tunnels.

@@trailtalestravelI see, you guys did a loop, so the western route is the via ferrata and eastern way is the normal route?

Glad you enjoyed it!

More to come! Stay tuned

We visited these lakes (in order): Grand lake Stratton lake St Andrews lake High falls lake Ooze lake Opalescent lake Cork lake Brigham lake

The lakes are also referenced in the video chapters so you can skip to a particular lake if you wish.

The cable car does not operate until May 31st. If you want to visit seceda before then You will need to hike all the way up. There may still be snow and ice in places, check with the tourist information before you hike to see if the trails are even open.

@@trailtalestravel thanks for your answer . Do you have the trail map for an easy hike to seceda ? I'll go there by a car

If there are no cable cars running when you go this is likely your best bet: Santa Cristina - Rifugio Firenze - Seceda on AllTrails www.alltrails.com/en-gb/trail/italy/south-tyrol/santa-cristina-rifugio-firenze-seceda But this is a much bigger hike than we did, over 1,000m of elevation gain if you don’t have the option to use the gondola.

@@trailtalestravelyes , I'll see it if we can get through it , we are very amateur hiker too 😂. The last mountain we try is the blue crater of mount ijen in East Java . But I think seceda have more walkable trails .

Best of luck, let us know how you get on!

Thank you so much! We have some epic trips planned this year so there will be more videos coming for sure.

Let us know if you do! We didn’t see any evil spirits in the rocks, but that sounds spooky 👻

Sorry about that, I’ve added it to the description for you. If you have any other questions about the hike or the dolomites in general let us know! We’re happy to share anything we can to make your trip amazing 😁

The climb from col raiser station to the seceda station is 500m over 4km. It’s quite steep in places but should take about an hour. This is the full loop we did, which took 3.5 hours. Col Raiser - Secëda - Forcella Pana - Rifugio Firenze on AllTrails www.alltrails.com/en-gb/trail/italy/south-tyrol/col-raiser-seceda-forcella-pana-rifugio-firenze

From which website do you know that col raiser is open in 23 rd may ? Because from what I read theyre open at 31st may

I could not find it either. Everything says they open on may 31

Thanks Corey! Let us know how you get on once you’re back from your trip 😄

@@trailtalestravelI decided to cancel my reservation/permit for hiking the Subway. It's more than I want to handle for my short trip to Zion. I'm going to stick to hikes with defined trails instead of the find-your-trail aspect of the Subway. Thanks again for the great video.

We were camping, so we stayed in königstein. Did you see our other video for the hike in the Czech part of the national park? If you are there for 2 days it is also worth doing.

Glad to hear it helped! We also have a video on a hike just across the border in the Czech part of the national park if you have an extra day to hike 🥾

Yes we hiked in late may so the conditions should be very similar. Just bring more water than we did, we were a little thirsty when we got back to the car.

@@trailtalestravel Thank you for the tip about water. How much did you bring? We are thinking 3 liters plus some electrolytes and some water stored in the car for the return trip. We heard the spring water down there is drinkable but probably shouldn't count on finding it :)

@juliedo5243 you cannot drink the river water, it will make you very sick. We’d recommend 2 litres per person minimum. Also, start earlier in the day than we did, it’ll be much cooler and easier. We started at 1pm and it was a sweat box 🥵

@@trailtalestravel Right, yes, best to not take chances due to the toxic algae. For sure we will bring enough water and start early. Thanks :)

Most importantly, enjoy the trail! Let us know how you got on 😁🥾

We were there the end of June

@@trailtalestravel Cool. Its looks really nice

That’s quite the story! It’s honestly something I could see one of us doing by mistake. That’s a long hike to do twice back to back!
