Pierre Farrugia is at it again, heading off on another hike and bringing his followers along to discover more of Malta’s often-overlooked rural beauty.

This time, his walk takes him to Wied Fulija in Żurrieq, starting from the Tal-Baqqari area (also known as Bakkari) — a spot packed with history before you even take your first proper step. The area is rich in archaeological remains and ruins from times long past, including what appear to be Bronze Age cart ruts, as well as several megaliths that may once have formed part of a prehistoric structure.

From there, Pierre follows the three-kilometre trail leading to Wied Fulija, which begins with an information board outlining the suggested route, along with helpful do’s and don’ts to keep walkers on track.

If you know your plants, while wandering in the area, you’ll want to keep a lookout for some of these species:

• Maltese Everlasting (Helichrysum melitense)
• Olive-leaved Germander (Teucrium fruticans)
• Golden Samphire (Limbarda crithmoides)

The trail’s fully paved, making it one of the few walking spots in nature that’s fully accessible for those walking with a buggy or using a wheelchair, all while offering stunning views of Malta’s southern coastline.

Have you ever explored Wied Fulija?
