The route begins in the recreational area of Pumares; we cross the road and head parallel to the river to Pumares, a village of old ferreira activity, where we can still see the remains of an old mallet. From here, along a marked path, and leaving the river Agüeira to our left, we continue a slight ascent into a legendary forest characterized by riparian species (alders, ashes, willows, and hazelnut trees) and by oaks and chestnut trees that with their whimsical shapes are true monuments.
Most of the path is guarded by stone walls adorned with moss, with a soft carpet of leaf litter that cushions our steps. Already in the Ancadeira we pass by several abandoned buildings that show us the importance that the place had. We continue through the magical and lonely “Valle del Desterrado” that leads us to a crossroads where we can continue straight ahead until we reach the waterfall (seimeira) of about 30 meters of fall or turn left across a small bridge that will take us after a slight ascent to the village of Busqueimado where we can visit the chapel, dedicated to San Pedro, accompanied by two impressive yew trees listed as a natural monument. The way back will be done by the same path in reverse.

We start the walk in the old station of San Tirso de Abres, today restored for private housing, finding the first of the six tunnels just 300 m away, continuing next to the river Eo enjoying every moment of great panoramic views of the riverbed, of incalculable ecological and fish value, in which abound a large number of aquatic species, the most characteristic being trout, lamprey and salmon. Later the path crosses the N-640 road and leads us to an old power station built in 1932, located just before crossing another of the tunnels drilled in the rock, which leaves us close to the pedestrian walkway over the river Eo.

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.
