Ruta Piorno a os Fornos
- San Martín de Oscos
- Ruta circular
- 5,5 km
- 2h 30m
- Baja
Iniciamos la ruta en el pueblo de Piorno, que se recomienda recorrer porque conserva excelentes muestras de arquitectura tradicional de los Oscos en piedra, pizarra y madera.
Frente al camino, al otro lado del valle, iremos viendo varias aldeas: primero Arne y Arruñada, luego Villanueva de San Cristóbal y después la Sierra de la Bobia. También podremos observar varios cortines (construcciones de piedra de forma circular, alrededor de las colmenas o trobos para resguardarlas de la fauna).
El paisaje nos sorprenderá con sus contrastes entre lo abrupto y lo suave, con sus sonidos: el río Soutelo, los pájaros,… la abundante vegetación autóctona: helechos, castaños, robles,… y la numerosa fauna: corzos, jabalís, zorros, azores y perdices.

We begin the route in San Martín de Oscos where we can see the parish church, with a Latin cross plan, large porticoed space and inscription of 1828. To the right of the facade we observe one of the most characteristic hórreos of the Oscos with a mixed roof (slate and straw), which corresponds to the primitive models. In front of the church we have the mansion of the Guzmanes, an old manor house of the XVIII century, which preserves in the portico of its main entrance a coat of arms carved in stone. We cross the bridge that crosses the San Martín river to begin the ascent to Mount Marón, entering a small forest of birch and oak trees, which make our walk even more pleasant.

Una caminata entre árboles, pequeñas cascadas y paisajes que invitan a parar y respirar. Al final del recorrido, la gran cascada del Cioyo se abre paso con fuerza entre la roca, regalando una imagen de belleza salvaje difícil de olvidar.
