Ta' Dmejrek (Malta's highest point)

Ta' Dmejrek, on the southern stretch of the Dingli Cliffs, is the highest point of Malta — 253 metres above the sea. There is no peak as such, only an unfenced patch of clifftop scrub marked by a small trig point. But on a clear day the view is unmatched: the open Mediterranean stretches to the horizon, the islet of Filfla floats two kilometres offshore, and the sea breeze cuts straight up the cliff face.

The point is most easily reached by walking south along the Triq Panoramika from Dingli Cliffs viewpoint, taking about 45 minutes one way over flat ground. There is no shade and no water. Most visitors stop at the main viewpoint above the Magdalene Chapel; the walk to the true summit is quieter and more rewarding.
