The Irugurutzeta ovens constitute the largest battery of ovens in Gipuzkoa and one of the most important in the Basque Country.
After being calcined, the iron ores were loaded onto the wagons and from there they left for the Kostorbe station in the Irun neighborhood of Mendibil. From there, they were transported to Hendaye (for subsequent export to other areas of France, such as Bayonne or the Landes, and even to other countries such as Belgium, Germany or England), and to the ports of Pasaia, Bilbao... Their destination was the Blast Furnaces.

Hiking
Place very close to the Ola cider house, it is usually very crowded, the ruins are very good and are the starting point to visit the lower part of the Aitzondo waterfall along a very beautiful route, or by going up the always demanding Enbido, see the part waterfall or enter the Aiako Harria natural park
