Circular trek with quite interesting and exciting features including various historic and military installations around Madliena and passing through a number of valleys below the Madliena and Gharghur area. For the history buffs, this is a trek that they will certainly find exciting. Rosman Attard will be sharing his anecdotes about interesting historical facts that we are sure will leave some of you in awe, thanks to his vast knowledge of things military and his in depth knowledge of the subject.
After a lovely trudge through Wied id-Dies, the trail will follow on up towards Gharghur offering a nice panoramic walk along part of the Victoria Lines with magnificent views of the north of Malta, before descending via the escarpment, towards Wied il-Faham and once again run along the Victoria lines before heading back to the start/finish.
