It is worth it, especially if you love nature, spectacular landscapes and outdoor activities.
The best thing about the Contreras Reservoir is:
* Impressive landscape: the reservoir is surrounded by the Cabriel river gorges, with rocky walls, pine forests and waters of an intense blue-green color. It is one of the most beautiful corners between the provinces of Valencia and Cuenca.
* Hiking: the Ruta de los Cuchillos de Contreras is the best known. It is a relatively simple route with viewpoints and spectacular views of the reservoir.

The spectacular landscape of the reservoir can already be seen when driving through the A-3. An excursion is recommended here.
