A circular guided nature walk on Gozo around the area of Nadur is being organised by Din L-Art Helwa Ghawdex, in partnership with Nature Trust Malta-FEE.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn more about some of Gozo’s rich variety of flora and fauna, whilst spending time surrounded by nature.
There will be the chance to enjoy amazing views of the dramatic rocky coastline and blue waters of the north-eastern coast of Gozo. Along this circular route, you will have the opportunity to experience breath-taking views, fascinating scenery and stunning valley views.
The walk is this Saturday, the 17th of December, from 10am until midday.
The walk will begin at the San Blas Gardens and follow a circular route, passing Qortin Natura 2000 site, Il-Wied ta’ Grejgel, San Filep Bay, skirting Mistra Rocks, along the side of the beautiful Rihan Valley, before returning to our starting point.
Along the way there will be the opportunity to learn more about endemic plants found in the garrigue terrain and this area of unspoilt natural landscape.
The organisers advised that most of the walk will be on uneven surfaces with some slight changes in slope and height. There are three steep sections along rocky tracks and there will also be some walking on quiet country roads.
“We recommend wearing footwear with a good grip and ankle support, bringing plenty of drinking water, a hat, waterproof clothing and sunblock,” they said.
Please note that:
There are no public toilets available at San Blas Gardens or along the route.
Spaces are limited, so book now to avoid disappointment.
