The Pozo de los Lobos in Pomar de Valdivia is a small stone construction that was once used to capture wolves. It is located near the Mirador de Valcabado, approximately 1.5 km away. This type of trap was covered with branches and leaves, and the wolves fell into the well when they were guided towards it.

In addition, the area offers incredible hiking trails and spectacular views of the Valderredible Valley from the Mirador de Valcabado. It is a perfect place to enjoy nature and local history.

Spectacular construction for what it represented. It was basically used to capture wolves at the time when these mountains were full of them. Either they were captured or the shepherds had problems with the flocks.
