Route of Silence
- Villanueva de Oscos
- Circular route
- 12 km
- 5 hours
- High
The route starts in San Cristobal, a place where we find numerous samples of popular architecture in its purest state, giving us the sensation of having gone back several centuries in time. From its chapel we see the valley of Rio Ahio covered with a beautiful blanket of native forest that dazzles us with its typical colors.
We began our journey to Mourelle entering a spectacular forest of chestnut, oak and strawberry trees, finding specimens of all ages and shapes, accompanied by numerous corripas (circular stone constructions of small height in which the hedgehogs of the chestnut trees were stored).
After Mourelle we ascend to the peak of Balongo, an authentic natural viewpoint, where it is worth stopping to contemplate the landscape and to regain strength.
Continuing along the road and once past Brusquete, we enter again into a grandiose natural tunnel formed by the treetops that make us feel in a fairytale setting where animals and plants live freely.
After a steep descent we cross the Ahío River that tirelessly carries the waters of the Sierra de la Bobia to the Agüeira River, maintaining in its path an important riparian ecosystem in which we can find a great variety of species.
Halfway up the slope and in a slight ascent we will reach San Cristobal, the starting and ending point of the route.
