ナバス・デ・エステナのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Torres del Estena is a fascinating place in the Cabañeros National Park, located near Navas de Estena in the province of Toledo. These geological formations consist of three rocks aligned with each other. Their peculiarity and beauty make them one of the icons of the Boquerón de Estena trail. Under the tower on the right, there is a cave or small rock shelter that, until 1932, housed a hermitage known as El Tío Cestero.

Stable wooden bridge that leads over the Rio Estena.

Fantastic rock towers that stand as gatekeepers made of quartzite at the side of the path.

The three towers are made of quartzite rock and are aligned with each other, they are part of a tectonic gap that was formed due to the frictional movement of a fault.

This route is ideal for its short route (just over 6 kilometers) and its low gradient, to be done with children, accompanied by the whole family. However, it is very beautiful: it runs along the banks of the Estena River, a riverbed in a magnificent state of conservation. in the Cabañeros National Park. The itinerary is flat, and along the way you cross the river on a wooden bridge. In addition to a very beautiful landscape, you can enjoy the typical Mediterranean vegetation (with holm oaks, cork oaks, gall oaks, cistus, etc.), vegetation associated with the banks of the rivers (ash trees, willows, etc.), trees such as the yew or the birch, with curious geological shapes caused by erosion and traces from the times when this area was covered by the sea, more than 400 million years ago, like those of a giant marine worm.

Rest point on a route (La Viñuela) to be done exclusively on foot through the heart of the Mediterranean forest, which here breaks its apparent uniformity into different slopes. Along the way it is easy to come across wild boars and deer, or see vultures and eagles in the sky. 13 km (circular)

In Cabañeros, columnar formations of quartzites originated by the differential erosion of the terrain. The uniqueness of the Torres del Estena is due to the fact that they are part of a tectonic gap that was formed due to the friction movement of a fault
