This trail is a 7 km alternative to the paved road JF 7038. It goes from Toba (from the Toba water cave) to the wall of the Anchuricas reservoir.
In addition to not being paved, you pass by the Anchuricas viewpoint.
Very pretty and spectacular, but there is a price to pay. To get to the road you have to go under the dam and cross the Segura. There is no bridge, no walkway... when you arrive you know the water it carries and then you decide: take off your shoes and push the bike so as not to get your shoes wet or try to go over the bike and risk putting your shoes or your whole body in the water.

Today, at the passage under the reservoir, there were two feet of water. I took off my shoes and tried to pedal through it, but in the end, I put my feet in.
