The crossing of the Campon stream marks the entrance to the beautiful Lecherines Bajo sheepfold or Plano de la Balsa, a highland plain of pastures surrounded by a magnificent crown of limestone ridges and stone towers. The sheepfold is splendid in a grandiose cirque of glacial origin; before arriving at it, it does not seem that a plateau of such proportions could exist at the foot of the peaks. And it is very welcoming, in the centre there is a shelter and nearby is the cattle watering trough. In winter there are no flocks, everything is covered in snow, there are bushes scattered between the white hills and frozen corridors cutting the snow ramps to the edge of the mountains. In one of the channels, near the Peña Blanca pass, is the Lecherines ice cave, a grotto to visit in spring, when the combination of cold and thawing creates sculptures and ice columns inside the cavity. The route ends at the porch of the Lecherines Bajo Shelter enjoying the warm rays of the midday sun. The GR-11.1 trail continues straight ahead and climbs towards Lecherines Alto and the López Huici Military Refuge, near the Magdalena pass.
