MTB route - Umbría de Cabezuela
Route
We begin the tour in Cabezuela del Valle, next to the bridge over the river, by crossing the locality in order to leave along calle San Felipe road, leaving the Santiago Hermitage on the left and continuing along a forest track in the direction of the Garganta de los Infiernos Natural Reserve, along the north-facing route. After a few tough ascents, we arrive at the access to the reserve and starting descending amid oak trees as far as the spot known as Los Pilones. There we need to carry our bicycles for a section, but the beauty of the landscape makes it well worth it. We cross the bridge and take the direction of the Interpretive Centre. From here, coinciding with the R-1, we return to the starting point. This route has a short cut at 2.5 km, making it a route of around 3.4 miles, which is ideal for doing as a family.u
