    The path to the dam is well secured, but not entirely suitable for people with a fear of heights. On the valley side of the dam there is a spectacular suspension bridge, a zip line and climbing routes. These can only be accessed with equipment. It was exciting to watch the climbers.

      The abandoned reservoir of Montejaque ("Presa de Montejaque"), also known as "Presa de los Caballeros" or "Presa del Hundidero", was completed in 1924 after only nine months of construction and was the largest arched dam in Spain with a height of 74 meters, a milestone of its time. However, this dam was never fully functional because the impounded water disappeared by seepage in a few hours due to the permeable soil of the reservoir. In the years following its inauguration, attempts were made to solve the problem, but without success, so the reservoir was eventually abandoned.
      Today there are hiking trails here and, since 2024, also a via ferrata (K1/K2).
