Hiking

The top of Peña Orniz has extraordinary views of the Somiedo Natural Park. Especially Valle de Lago and the Picos albos massif. And also from the block of Peña Ubiña, El Cornón and a large part of the mountains of the Cantabrian mountain range. The sculpture at the top is also striking, it looks like a sentinel sorcerer invoking some kind of spell towards the four winds.
