Betlem Hermitage

Highlight • Religious Site

The Betlem hermitage is in one of the quietest areas of Mallorca, located on a balcony with spectacular views and open to the nearby bay of Alcúdia. To get to the hermitage, you have to walk along a beautiful path surrounded by cypress trees. From here, you can access many hiking routes.

puig d'en Pelat

Highlight • Summit

The Bec de Ferrutx is a very distinctive and very impressive mountain. From Betlem Monastery you can take a nice hike to the summit of Ferrutx. You should be free from giddiness on the crest of the summit, as it goes steeply down there. With a little luck you will discover the horses living in the wild on Mallorca.

At just over 30 degrees it starts from the Ermita de Betlem in the northeast north of Arta. On 5.5 km and initially on a slightly shady path through the pine forest, the route then takes you along a partly rocky …

The last day of our hiking week in Mallorca took us first to the monastery, L'ermita de Betlem, and then up the mountain through the nature reserve with wild mountain goats and sheep. The "Bec de Ferrutx" is 523m high. Once at the top, the rain set in with an icy wind (2°)! A strenuous but also impressive tour.

Because we liked it so much in this area yesterday, we had to climb the summit today. The island hopsher took us to the Eremita de Betlem on a road that wound its way up the slope like a rolling dough roll. After we had overcome this hurdle, the water reserves were filled up and off we went. A stony …

By rental car through Artà. Currently, there's a lot of construction going on, so we took the smallest streets... further into the hinterland on small paths but with a median strip 😆
Up the mountains and parked at the hermitage. Off into the vegetable patch, where the grasses growing there are really tall and bushy... The path is often barely …
