The route begins in the upper part of the village of Bres through a wide dirt road that leads to the Guxo mill, in excellent condition and also has in its vicinity a mini power plant.
The route continues along a small path leaving the stream on the right until you reach a wooden bridge that we must cross to start the ascent through a chestnut grove to reach the Chao do Cobo, an area where it is common to find traces of wild boar. The path continues ascending through Cabaza until reaching the Teixo, crossing meadows and small oak forests. From the top of Teixo, on clear days, the views of the north of the council (Sela de Entorcisa, Sela de Fabal, etc) are unbeatable. The itinerary passes through Brataramundi and after a steep descent we reach the Molino Viejo and the Molino de Nela, both of which are in a bad state of preservation due to disuse. These hydraulic mills were once used to grind corn, wheat, oats and rye, cereals used to feed people and animals. From this point a slight ascent begins by a nice path in which oaks and blueberries abound on both sides, arriving at a wider dirt track that in descending sense takes us to the starting point.

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.

In the Teixo and just behind the hostel starts the forest track along which begins the walk to the Alto de Ouroso. The path is wide and passable by all-terrain vehicles, so there is hardly any possibility of getting lost. The route runs comfortably between wide pastures, heaths and pine forests of repopulation to reach a landing on which there is a small lagoon where at mid-morning many horses come to this point to water and refresh themselves in the shade of the pines. The animals graze in a semi-wild state and require little attention from their owners, which is why the number of horses has increased considerably in recent years.
