The path draws a couple of curves between the oaks and the first twisted and seductive beech trees appear next to the road. The oldest and most striking specimen is a little further down, in the bed of the Avellano stream, the roots come out of the ground and embrace an enormous quartzite rock, forming a beautiful and monumental tree surrounded by an extraordinary troop of beech trees of all ages. . The path crosses another stream and continues down between beech trees to the wooden bridge of the Riaza River, where another path appears on the right that descends from the beech forest road. The spell of the beech forest ends and the luminous seduction of the oak meadow continues until the path ends on the Riaza road, near the reservoir.

Within the beautiful Hayedo de la Pedrosa there are several centuries-old beech trees of great beauty.
