The Hornillo Waterfall belongs to the circular hiking route along the Hornillo River Path. One of the best routes in the Community.

Path along the river

The Hornillo ravine is a tributary of the Aceña river, in the last western foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama, where the mountain range sinks into the forests of Pinares Llanos and the first mountains that form the eastern massif of the Sierra de Gredos are born. . The rocks are granite, polished and shaped by the current of the stream, which forms small roaring foam jumps when the water is abundant. The forests are repopulated with pine forests with oak meadows in open areas for cattle grazing, a suggestive mountain landscape for an entertaining family outing.

The path runs through the forest near the watercourse and crosses the stream again to change slopes. At this point, a path leads to the left through some steps made of roots and trunks, marked with the Sendas Verdes milestone. The first slope is hard, then the path goes through some clearings between the pines and reaches the waterfall of the Hornillo waterfall. The frill is about fifteen meters high, spread over a long stretch to the main pool and then a small ponytail on a polished rocky lambría.
