From there, the trail first leads slightly downhill across the plateau to the edge of the cliff. Then the trail descends on steep serpentine paths to the coast. Once you reach the bottom, you hike a little along the road, which is hardly used. After a short while, however, you will head up again on a wild little path to the starting point. The ascent leads over the Barranco It\u00f3bal. A wild steep barranco with a dam and a dried-up reservoir.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image.png\" alt=\"Barranco It\u00f3bal dam without water\" class=\"wp-image-14400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"another-rock-gate-in-the-northern-teno-mountains\">Another rock gate in the northern Teno Mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second hike in the northern Teno Mountains takes you down to the coast, also below Teno Alto. But this time you don&#8217;t go right, but left. You hike across to the coast above Punta Teno. From there you can walk a little further along the cliffs and, if you want, visit a rock gate on the way back. In the Teno Mountains I have already described <a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/tenerife\/rock-gate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the tour to the rock gate El Bujero<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2578-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2578-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"View of the cliffs and Los Gigantes in the background from the path on the cliff edge\" class=\"wp-image-12323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2578-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2578-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2578-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2578-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2578-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2578-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2578-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both tours are not suitable for everyone, as a good head for heights and surefootedness are essential. This tour to the rock gate above Punta Teno is without any path and therefore not necessarily suitable for imitating. But if you like scrambling and a little climbing, you can give it a try. The view through the gate to Punta Teno compensates for the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-03-22-um-16.43.45-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3020\" height=\"1468\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-03-22-um-16.43.45-1.png\" alt=\"Track of the hike in the northern Teno Mountains\" class=\"wp-image-12283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-03-22-um-16.43.45-1.png 3020w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-03-22-um-16.43.45-1-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-03-22-um-16.43.45-1-1024x498.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-03-22-um-16.43.45-1-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-03-22-um-16.43.45-1-1536x747.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-03-22-um-16.43.45-1-2048x996.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3020px) 100vw, 3020px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-05-10-um-18.00.17-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1310\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-05-10-um-18.00.17-1.png\" alt=\"track of the hike to the rock gate\" class=\"wp-image-12285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-05-10-um-18.00.17-1.png 1310w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-05-10-um-18.00.17-1-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-05-10-um-18.00.17-1-1024x633.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-05-10-um-18.00.17-1-768x475.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1310px) 100vw, 1310px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"general-information-about-the-circular-hikes-in-the-northern-teno-mountains\">General information about the circular hikes in the northern Teno Mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"starting-point-and-directions\">Starting point and directions&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For hike 1 (round trip), the starting point is below Teno Alto at the end of the first straight of Pista las Cuevas.

At the end of the long serpentine road, you will reach the town of Teno Alto, which you have just passed through. Behind the town you are already on the Pista las Cuevas.

After a few minutes you will be back at the road, which you now follow around to the left for a short while. Then the trail leads you away from the road and for a while directly along the upper slope of the Barranco de las Cuevas.

But soon, in a bend to the right, the yellow and white marked hiking trail leaves the road again and continues to follow the Barranco de las Cuevas downhill. You walk for a while until the path leads you back onto the road at some houses. This is also the start of hike 2 to the rock gate. Now go down to the Barranco Grund and cross it. Then follow the path that leads you around to the left. This now takes you in long wide arcs along the slope towards the coast. On the way you will come to a goat gate, through which you continue straight ahead. Please close the gate again afterwards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1915-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1915-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"View of the north coast with banana plantations from the descent path\" class=\"wp-image-12304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1915-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1915-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1915-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1915-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1915-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1915-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1915-1-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"goat-fence-section-to-ridge-path-above-barranco-itobal\">Goat fence section to ridge path above Barranco It\u00f3bal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The path ends on a kind of hill.

From Roque Chi\u00f1aco, the narrow descent path leads down to the road in wide serpentines. You will go from 400 metres in altitude to 90 metres in altitude to the TF-445. Next to a large plantation, you will finally return to the road. If you still have time, desire and energy, you can go left around to Punta de Teno. If you stay there, however, this will take at least another hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1924-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1924-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"View from the dam wall into Barranco It\u00f3bal\" class=\"wp-image-12306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1924-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1924-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1924-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1924-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1924-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1924-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1924-1-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the circular walk, however, keep to the right along the road. You walk about 2-300 metres along the road and cross the Barranco It\u00f3bal. A short time later, you will see an old, dilapidated chapel on your right. Leave the road at this chapel and walk up the slope. Before you reach the ridge, the path turns left and runs parallel to the ridge for quite a while as you gain height. Finally, the trail climbs steeply up the slope and onto the ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1935-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1935-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking trail along the road across the plateau - Camino de Mulata\" class=\"wp-image-12308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1935-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1935-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1935-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1935-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1935-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1935-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1935-1-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-of-ridge-trail-above-barranco-itobal-to-camino-la-mulata\">Section of ridge trail above Barranco Itobal to Camino la Mulata<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first, the path runs above and briefly beside the ridge for quite a while. After a while, it leads you down the right side of the slope to the Barranco bed. Cross the bed and climb up again on the right side of the Barranco. You cross a small plain and then follow the path on the right side of the slope. It is now very steep and you will see a dam wall above you on the left, which you will then reach. Some maps show a lake here. I did not see any water there. However, there are very beautiful views from the dam wall. The path continues through the middle of the wide barranco over the place where there must once have been a lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1939-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1939-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Rock formations near Teno Alto\" class=\"wp-image-12310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1939-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1939-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1939-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1939-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1939-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1939-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1939-1-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the path turns again to the left side of the slope, where a steep ascent follows. On the slope you go relatively steeply out of the barranco and reach a ridge. Up here you will find the remains of an old settlement and a large circular stone circle. The path continues upwards over the ridge. Now the path continues uphill, but at a more moderate pace. The ascent path joins a small road (Camino la Mulata).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1949-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1949-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Crossing at the Camino de Mulata\" class=\"wp-image-12312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1949-1-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1949-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1949-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1949-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1949-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"route-section-camino-la-mulata-to-the-starting-point-of-the-hike\">Route section Camino la Mulata to the starting point of the hike<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow this road uphill to the right. You pass a farmstead and continue along the road. Eventually, the colour of the rock changes beside and in front of you. It becomes lighter. And that is why this place is called Paisaje Lunar Teno Alto. You can go off the road a little and look at the bright caves and deformations of the landscape at your leisure. But just before the road forks, you go right over the white rocks onto a small hiking trail. This takes you over the white rocks on the other side of the slope into terraced terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1947-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1947-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking trail through green meadows and blooming flowers\" class=\"wp-image-12314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1947-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1947-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1947-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1947-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1947-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1947-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1947-1-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In spring, it blossoms all around you. The path across the terraces leads you past a large farmstead with another stone circle.

From Roque Chi\u00f1aco, the narrow descent path leads in wide serpentines down to the road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2571-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2571-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"View of Punta Teno from the hiking trail\" class=\"wp-image-12318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2571-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2571-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2571-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2571-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2571-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2571-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2571-1-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before you reach the road, keep to the left at an almost inconspicuous junction. After a while, this path takes you behind a large abandoned banana plantation towards Punta Teno. As the path here is not quite clear, there are several possibilities to go behind this plantation. But eventually you will come to a wider path. Follow this uphill to the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2575-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2575-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"View from the cliff edge down into the sea\" class=\"wp-image-12320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2575-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2575-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2575-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2575-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2575-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2575-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2575-1-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"route-section-broad-ascent-path-to-rock-gate\">Route section Broad ascent path to rock gate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow the path along the slope. To your left are the cliff foothills and to your right is Punta Teno, which you pass at altitude. At some point you will reach the cliffs. And as on the cliff path before Los Gigantes, here too you go on and on along the cliffs. You have wonderful views of the cliffs, the sea and Punta Teno. I went back when the path only led steeply down the cliffs. As far as I can tell, it doesn&#8217;t continue through the cliffs like in Los Gigantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2577-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2577-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"View from the hiking trail to the cliffs and Los Gigantes in the background\" class=\"wp-image-12280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2577-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2577-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2577-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2577-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2577-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2577-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2577-1-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the way back, you will see a rock gate at the top right. If you like and can scramble a bit, it is possible to come up in the small barranco. There is no real path. So it&#8217;s only something for adventurers. But from the rock gate itself, you have a magnificent view all the way to Punta Teno. A worthwhile excursion for those who like this kind of thing. Afterwards, you take the same path back towards Teno Alto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2580-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2580-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"eroded earth during the ascent near the rock gate\" class=\"wp-image-12325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2580-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2580-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2580-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2580-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2580-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2580-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2580-1-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"and-finally\">And finally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope you enjoyed the two somewhat adventurous hikes in the northern Teno mountains.
