ฝัง

- The GR221 or Ruta de Pedra en Sec (Dry Stone Route) offers some of the best hiking Mallorca has to offer, crossing the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range from one side of the island to the other. It's about 150 km in length and puts an end to the do-you-prefer-mountains-or-the-sea question: this trail has it all!

Great video and lots of great shots packed through great editing and music.
Nice Yoah! Especially enjoyed the mountain top dance moves!
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video. I'm planning to do the hike in 2 months and I'm in the process of getting as much information as possible. Usually, I watch loads of videos for the info, not really enjoying them, but yours was really nice and thoughtful. So much that I just wrote my first comment ever :D keep up the great work!
Aw, thank you so much! Your lovely comment totally made my day! I hope you have the best time in Mallorca!
Amazing footage and editing! Well done! I did this hike in summer 2021 as a challenge and it was definitely one of the harder things I've done. I only did wild camping and at over 30 degrees, you need to carry an insane amount of water with you. Finding shade was also nearly impossible in a lot of areas. Ironically though, I almost froze to death because there was a freak thunder storm at night while up on a mountain and my tarp didn't hold. If anyone is planning to do this hike in summer time, just don't.
From the Netherlands last night to Mallorca tonight - vicariously enjoyed your next adventure! G'day from Australia!
Thanks for sharing your adventures. I really enjoyed the scenery and hearing about your trek. By the way, the fruit from the strawberry tree (called a madroño) gets sweeter and softer as it ripens. I sometimes collect them and dry them to be enjoyed during the winter.
So glad you enjoyed the video, Linda. I wasn't sure what to call the fruit and I'd be curious to see what the dried version tastes like as well!
Amazing video Yoah!
I love the style of your videos. The music, the editing and the very thoughtful integration of text in the surroundings.. Justr perfect!
Amazing! Love it 😍
Thank you for this wonderful video! ❤️
My pleasure! :)
Really lovely, thank you
Nice hike, nice video, thank you for sharing!
Great video!
So beautiful nature
Amazing😍
Awesome drone shots of the cloudy valley of Soller, magical trail and so many ways to walk it even different! there is a optional variation from Lake Cuber to go through a few cave tunnels to Tossal Verds, counter clockwise to the refugi. This hike in the winter is also great to do, i walked many times even on the snow up from 1000 meters, simply stunning!
Both walking through caves and in winter sounds amazing. This has been the most exciting and impressive trail I've done so far. The clouds and the light in the valley around Soller were incredible! Thanks for your kind comment!
Such great views! I should also get there one day 👏
Highly recommended!!
Beautiful video, I loved the editing, the dancing and your voice:-)
You're probably the first person to ever compliment my dancing, so thanks for that :-)
Very nice video! Pro quality filming and editing :)
Wow, thanks!
Weer een super gave video Yoah!! En wat grappig dat die wilde aardbeien er zo anders uitzien dan de wilde aardbeien hier
Dankje! Na wat nader onderzoek nu net weet ik niet meer zeker of die vruchten wel 'wilde aardbeien' heten! Het zijn de vruchten van de 'aardbeiboom', wat een beetje een misnomer is omdat de vruchten dus inderdaad niets met de aardbeien die we kennen te maken hebben. 😅
@@yoahvangelder Ahaa dat verklaart waarom ze aan een boom groeiden ;)
Superb & insightful. Magic watching & listening 😜 to this video, please keep these beautiful vids coming ….

Aw, thanks (for the invaluable ideas/advice as well, naturally) mate! :D More on the way!
very nice!!!
Nice videos!
Such good editing sir!
Thanks Vivan! :D
Hello, thanks for hiking were I live❤
And also a very nice channel, I hope that you get more views
@@Soyguaygod Thank you! I imagine Mallorca is a wonderful place to live - I certainly enjoyed the 2-3 weeks I spent there and would love to go back some day!
Very cool video
Great video! Think I should do this trail sometime as well, the views look beautiful.
Highly recommended -- it's stunning!
Ostia che bello ragazzo 😉! Genio 🙌 !!
Hahaha gracias guapo! 😉😘😘
Beautiful adventure! You did this recently? Nice weather 😎
Thanks! 😁 This was in early October 2021. Spring or autumn is probably the best time to go, I think--summer would be very hot and water more of a concern.
Hey Yoah! Paul en Froukje (je hosts uit vlissingen :) ) hadden je kanaal naar me doorgestuurd. Toffe video! :D
Haha wauw, wat leuk! 😁 Glad you liked the video!
Great video looking at hiking this on April looks fantastic.I.like the look of your trail shoes what make are they as they look to have a nice wide toe box and I like my Altra lone peaks
atb daz
Thanks so much, Daz! The shoes are Altras: the Olympus model. I love the wide toe box as well and these just have more cushioning than the Lone Peaks.
Cool video! The script and the images were amazing.
Did you book the refugees before or you can just book them while you're at it?
Thanks, Marco! I booked the refuge on the go (the day before, or on the day) but I wasn't always able to book a place, so I'd actually recommend booking ahead if you have a decent idea about when you're going to want to stay in each refuge. Hope that helps and have fun out there!
i love how you documented all of it perfectly. great job. What did you film it on???
Thank you! Most of this footage is from a Sony ZV-1.
@@yoahvangelder Ok thank you. One more question, is the refuge "coma den vidal" permanently closed? I can see from when you published this video that you were there recently.....
And I hope it's not a problem if you could please send me the details on how you did all of this and how you knew where to go? It's just that I live in Mallorca and I'm planning to also do the GR221. Thanks
At the time (October 2021), the Coma d'en Vidal refuge was, as far as I could tell, only open to group reservations and not to individual hikers. That may have changed - I'm not sure.
Check out gr221.info - it's the best resource I found for planning my trip. You can book stays at (most of) the refuges through the Consell de Mallorca website (there's a link on gr221.info), although it takes a bit of digging and it's not super user-friendly in my opinion.
Leuke stijl van filmmaken! Ben mijn trip aan het voorbereiden, maar andersom, eerst menorca en dan mallorca, en wat later dan jij denk ik? ik ben er eind oktober. ik lees overal dat de route niet zo goed bewegwijzerd is, had je gpx files bij je? ik krijg er, na het zien van je video in ieder geval nog meer zin in!
Je bent waarschijnlijk alweer terug (!) maar ik gebruikte een app (mapy.cz) om de weg te vinden, wat inderdaad niet altijd makkelijk was. Ik hoop dat het allemaal is gelukt end dat je op een mooie trip terugkijkt!
I love your shorts! What brand are they? Do you have an affiliate link?
Thanks, Karl! That's really kind. The shorts are a pair of heavily discounted (covid era) swim shorts from John Lewis, so no link I'm afraid 🙂. In hindsight I could have probably gone for something/lighter stretchier but, equally, whatever you already own will probably work.
Great adventure. Did you use an app to navigate? How do you know the route?
I use the mapy.cz app for most of my hiking.
@@yoahvangelder Thanks
👍🏼✌️
Hello, You have done it during the autumn, spring o summer? What month is this? I thinking about doing it now... but I'm affraid about the temperatures at the night, I'm going to sleep in the tent. :D
Hi! This was in the beginning of October, so I imagine now would be a good time as well. Just check to make sure the refuges are (still) open and aim for a good weather window.
@@yoahvangelder Thank you!
I can see you are very ultra-light, but me with my over 8 kg base weight and always wearing medium hiking boots for a mountain hike, judging from the rocky terrain, should rather forget about the low walking shoes I use for lowlands hiking?
It is a question Yoah.
Do you happen to have the route you took? Maybe the GPX? Many thanks
Hi Ashley,
I have everything recorded on Strava so could download the GPX files and share them with you (let me know how, and I will). Do note that I did get lost once or twice and I wouldn't recommend anyone follow the exact route I took because of this. Here are the links to the five days on Strava, if that helps:

Hey Yoah, in which month did you hike the GR221 (sorry if I missed it in the video)?
Hey! This was in early October 🙂
@@yoahvangelder Thank you so much.
Can I ask what kind of shoes are you wearing?
Volgens mij ben je Nederlands😊 dus nog een keer de vraag wat voor schoenen draag je? En waarom draag je lage schoenen? Ik ben zelf net gestart met wandelen en heb half hoge schoenen gekocht op advies van de verkoper.
Hoi Jacqueline! Ik draag in deze video Olympus schoenen van Altra. Lage schoenen zijn wat lichter van gewicht en dat scheelt denk ik toch (wat) tijdens een lange dag je benen naar voren zwaaien. Mensen dragen geloof ik vooral halfhoge schoenen voor steun voor hun enkels, maar dat is voor mij niet echt nodig (maar: ik heb wel eens mijn enkel verzwikt tijdens het wandelen/banjeren dus neem dat met een korreltje zout).
