 Overview
From southeast to southwest this route takes you from L-Imġarr
Harbour to Ix-Xlendi Bay taking in the lower lying coast at Xatt l-Aħmar
to the fjord-like bay of Mġarr ix-Xini past its coastal Tower standing
guard since the time of the Knights of St. John. The walk proceeds up
to the higher grounds of the village of Ta’ Sannat perched close to the
edge of the majestic vertical cliffs of the southern coast. The clifftop
route enjoys the best views of this wild landscape before turning
slightly inland within the confines of Munxar down to Ix-Xlendi Bay.

 Notes
COUNTRYSIDE CODE
• Refrain from collecting or causing damage to any specimens of flora,
fauna, geological items or archaeological artefacts.
• Tread lightly and avoid disturbance.
• Keep to the paths.
• Do not litter or light fires.
• Keep away from the cliff edge.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

• Protect yourself from UV radiation – wear a hat and sun protection as

even the cooler months can get quite hot.
• Although rainfall is scarce rain sometimes comes in heavy downpours
causing flash floods. Avoid walking in valleys during or just after
heavy rains.
• Keep a safe distance from the shoreline or cliffs during adverse
weather conditions with very strong winds or wild seas.
Before undertaking any part of this walk, it is strongly recommended to ensure
that one’s physical and medical conditions permit the undertaking of these
activities. Particular attention is to be made to the often irregular terrain and
to refrain from undertaking these walks in prohibitive weather conditions. All
walks are undertaken at one’s own risk.
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of information
contained in this brochure as at time of publication, the Ministry for Gozo
accepts no liability for any inaccuracies or omissions whatsoever. Moreover, the
Ministry for Gozo accepts no liability for accidents or any type of losses while
following these walks.

HUNTING
During your walk, as in most of the countryside, you will encounter
many small stone huts – the local dura – a hut used by bird hunters or
trappers. Do keep this in mind when walking – typically the sign ‘RTO’
(Reserved To Owner) will often mean that it is privately owned land.
