Teix is one of the highest mountains on
Mallorca. On the way to the top we pass historic scenes and a "ice
factory" from the middle age, but we fail to find the legendary
"chair of king Sances" continue Latest.
This route is now closed. Use the route starting from Valldemossa.
Turn left from the Soller
roat just after the 22.3 km mark on a small road leading to "Botelleria del Teix". The road starts just after you have passed
the first sharp curve going down towards Soller. Just outside the gate
of the bottled water factory, there is a small parking.
Walk through the iron gates.
Cross over the factory grounds and enter the drive through the stone
wall. Looks a bit private, but we encountered no problems.
Looking down over the
factory and "Cases del Teix".
Shortly after you enter the
wood. The road is good the first few kilometers.
Follow the "main road". Ignore
tracks leading to the sides. After aprox 1 hr you get to "Casa del
Rei Sanç. Here you turn sharp right. There is a forest road a few
hundred meters more. Then you enter the wood again on a small track.
The type of track to follow. Look around and
you find some red marks.
Eventually you leave the last trees. Look
back so you can find the way back.
This is "Fuente de la Serp".
Shortly before this place you turn left to get to "Casa de neu"
The country side is open here.
At last, the top of "Teix". From
here you have view over a large part of the island.
It is possible to walk to Valldemossa from here, or you can walk same
way back.
If you are here first time, and it is getting late, then always walk
back the way you came.
