Blata tal Melh Trekking Bahrija Malta

- Today's adventure takes us to l-Blata tal-Melh, which translates as "the rock of salt", due to the salt-pans here and lies on the coast of Bahrija behind the area known as L-Imtahleb. The stretch of coast lies just south of Ras ir-Raheb, just off Fomm ir-Riħ Bay. The only access is on foot via a45 -minute trek down steep uneven ground. The trek gets particularly tricky nearer the bottom. Some say it was an Italian businessman who produced salt there and he had commissioned the work. The stairs would enable workers to carry salt down to a waiting boat that would take it to Gnejna.
Apparently, the staircase was also used as easy access for people working on the salt-pans, as using a boat was easier than walking, even if there were no sacks of salt to carry.
Of course, you want to see this place. It is certainly off the beaten track but well-worth the effort. Apart from the interest created by the human footprint, the location has very unique characteristics that give it a unique beauty on the whole island.

Thanks Mr. Farrugia. It's beyond my possibility to walk it but I appreciate the beauty.
That’s the aim of these videos, let others enjoy with us places like these that sometimes tend to be a bit difficult 👍
@@PierreFarrugia I shared it!!!!! Very well done. Thank you once again.
Thanks Pierre for this vlog. Very interesting, dramatic but fantastic views. Never been there, it would have been so good to see such a nice part from the geology of Malta. Thanks for any info too, well done.👍👍
Thanks
Amazing views. Many memories of this place, been there three times for sure. About two years ago we trekked and slept there and took some milky way photos since that is the darkest part of Malta with the lowest light pollution.
That stairs my father, when he was younger, used to go with their boat from Wied iż-Żurrieq to fish and collect salt and they used that stair to climb.
Also that is the same place some years ago two guys were completely washed away and ended in a nearest place and were rescued, thankfully they were still alive.
We have to do it again there Ang sleep over

Look amazing views . Can see clear blue water and walking around
Yes true , lovely place ?
Breathtaking views and amazing structures formed by sea and weather, I think maybe the steps were formed to access the salt pans years ago, lovely video Pierre thankyou. 🇲🇹👍
Thanks, yes totally agree
Well done Pierre! Thanks.

Thanks appreciate
Grazzi u prosit Pierre u Mario. Jien xtaqt inkun naf hix accessibli ghal pubbliku ghax xtaqt immur niehu ftit ritratti. Inkun moghbbi mhux hazin, allura nipprova l-iqsar triq. Grazzi mill-gdid.
Min fejn mort jiena nahseb acessibli, ghandek mixja ta 3km and 3km lura. Hemm postijiet li tkun qed fit tarf u l ahhar bicca naqra wieqfa, just biex tkun taf
@@PierreFarrugia Grazzi Pierre!
We tried to reach there from the other side and failed. Because we were afraid of jumping, obviously 😊
We'll try again following the trail in your video. It'll help us a lot. Thank you 🙏
Need any tips just ask, thank you .
Nice views pierre, It's so relaxing there. well done and condolence
Grazzi ❤️
Great video Pierre
Thanks
The stairs that leads to the sea were cut because long time ago they use to come with the boat and carry the salt from there to Gnejna bay
Yes agree, thanks for the comment, unfortunatly didn’t see that hole to the sea
This is very beautiful indeed. I've been wanting to visit Blata tal-Melh but don't know how to access the place. We recently managed to go to Ras id-Dawwara through Miġra l-Ferħa by bike and needless to say the views were absolutely breathtaking. Is there another way to access Blata tal-Melh from Bahrija by bike? Obviously not all the way down but at least we can take turns to walk down and explore the place or lock the bikes in Bahrija if it is not too far.
From the part that I passed it’s a bit dangerous with a bike but I ride a bike .
Thank you Pierre for your videos! We did this track today, it was really nice! Any way to cross the 1.5/2m divide over the sea to continue walking, maybe reaching Fomm ir-Rih?
I am not sure if you can from above , never crossed it till now , thanks for you comments
Outstanding! Thank you for this. Are hiking poles recommended on this trek or would they damage the trail?
I would recommend them, more stable, don’t think they will do damage. Thanks
DEFINITELY A WALK TO BLOW YOUR COBWEBS AWAY as they say 🧘♂️ 🍃.
Very invigorating trekking along that scenic coastline🚶🌊 🧗♂️ ☀ 💦.
(Thought that was an antenna popping out of your backpack 😂).
THANKS PIERRE 🎥 👏 👏 👏.
CHEERS 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
Haha no my trekking pole 😂, thanks as always
@@PierreFarrugia You're welcome Pierre. You looked like a Communications Trooper gone AWOL 😂 🤣 😂.
THANKS - love your work🚶🎥.
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
@@johnabela932 Hehe needed one as had no mobile reception
could you start posting a map of the trek ?
Good idea, will try to implement this soon
Pierre ma nafx kif hadt it triq min hemm . Fuq hemm stess hemm passag stess fejn trid tidhol mil limtahleb u tirwi lemin ma xifer ta lirdum bil karozza stess fejn qabel konna insejhulu id dar ta mintoff fejn kien izomm iz zwiemel tieghu . Tipparkja hemm u hemm passagg lisfel jihdok hemm isfel . Umbaghad hemm triq ohra min naha ta isfel net il bahrija int u niezel lejn fomm ir rih . Ifhem biex tinzlu mhux iebes daqshekk izda biex titla iva meta tqis li trid titla mobbi sew plus il hut li taqbad . Dik il blata il wieqfa jghidula iz zugraga . Dak it tarag kien jintuza biex jingarr il melh u dik il kamra fil bidu ma kienetx kbira daqshekk gieli irqadna hemm biex insebhu kmieni imhabba il post . Pero bhala post spettakulari hemm , tfuliti min eta zghira kont immur ma missieri u iz zijjiet ghal lampuki u ic cawl u gieli ghal crien bil fluntin . Likbar qabda li hadt gost kienet ta 45 lampuka u 3 tunnaggi . Hadt gost imma tbazwart tiela bijjhom . Pero hemm daqs kemm hu sabieh hu perukuluz liktar jekk tkun ix xita ghax ma titlax ghax kollox jizloq ikun u trid tibza jekk ikun qawwi il bahar ghax selvagg . Dik it tifkira hi missier it tabib u deputat Rabti Daniel micallef . Prosit u hudu gost pierre .
Grazzi tal informazzjoni li tghati kemm il darba, jiena mill Kalkara u mhux daqsekk midhla ta dawn l inhawi. Imma tkun idea tajba li nipprova min fejn qed tghid, sakemm ghad hemm acess ghal publiku !
prosit pierre
