As Carballeiras Green Trail

This route starts at the Nature Interpretation Center, in the center of Santa Eulalia de Oscos.

After visiting the center observing the educational material that shows us the richness in flora, fauna and ethnography of the area, we can complement our information with a tour of the path that will help us to identify in a short time the different ecosystems and forests of the region. After a few meters we enter a characteristic mixed deciduous forest in which we find, among other species, oak, chestnut, birch and hazelnut trees. In the upper part of the forest gradually opens up and almost without noticing we are surrounded by scrub (heather, gorse, ferns and broom) that allows us a wide panoramic view overlooking the valley of the river Agüeira, which crosses the municipality in a NW-SE direction and the highest and most humanized areas of the municipality. In the descent to Pumares we pass by several meadows where it will not be difficult to see cows grazing accompanied by their young, meadows watered by the river Agüeira, which also feeds another characteristic type of forest, the riparian, which has a wide wealth and biodiversity formed by species such as alder, ash, willow or hazel. From Pumares we will return by our tracks to the crossroads, where we turn right and return to Santa Eulalia.
