The bridge is brand new and has been repaired since February 2026 👍

At this point, depending on the direction of your hike, you'll leave the river and head into the hillside, where the trail leads you through a wide pine forest and typical Mediterranean vegetation characteristic of these mountain landscapes. As you ascend, the views open up, revealing breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding area, which can be the perfect excuse to stop for a few moments to rest and savor the scenery before continuing.

The route is marked with beacons, posts, and other standardized signs with arrows and markings. At this point, there are also signs indicating directions and distances to towns or key locations.

It is located in a quiet rural area surrounded by pine forests and Mediterranean scrubland, with trails and nature all around, and retains a typical atmosphere of the Valencian interior.

Be careful, the footbridge as of October 3, 2025, is still not repaired (it was swept away by the Dana in October 2024). A ford crossing is possible a little higher up (towards the embalse), with water up to mid-thighs and a strong current, so be careful. Then to join the GR7, they climb the embankment (towards Benagéber). In the other direction (towards Chelva), I don't recommend crossing at this point because you have to descend from the GR7 via a steep and very unstable wall; I think it's dangerous going down. And be careful too, the GR7 is cut off higher up, but you can manage it by taking a long 5km detour via the path that climbs gently (or rather sharply) along the Turía River and rejoins the GR7 towards Chera. Then turn right and you can reach Benagéber.

Parish Church of Siete Aguas, erected in the 18th century and dedicated to San Juan Bautista. Inside, the highly popular images of the Holy Christ of the Afflicted and Saint John the Baptist stand out. The patron saint festivities are celebrated on June 24 in honor of its patron saint, San Juan Bautista.

It's a street decorated with charming Super Mario motifs, as if the video game had come to life. A truly delightful place to behold.

The cycling trip continues along the rural path of the Ruta de la Lana and passes through El Rebollar, an old inn on the Camino Real in Valencia. The slides follow one another among holm oak forests, Aleppo pine groves and vineyard plantations until the final climb towards Siete Aguas begins, on the A-3 service road. The Nature Trail passes through an uncomfortable little tunnel under the highway, then crosses the high-speed train bridge and continues along a path with a lot of stones that can put in trouble those who carry long distances on their bike. The descent to the town is also delicate due to the loose surface. The “Turia sector” of the Natural Trail ends in Siete Aguas. The route to Pedralba, in the Turia valley, has several non-cyclable sections for gravel bikes and we turn around in this beautiful town of Hoya de Buñol-Chiva, famous for the springs that flow in the municipality, such as the fountains of the Papan, of the Gota, of the Apetito, of the Tejería or the great symbol of the town, the popular Fuente de los Siete Caños, in the center of the urban area. The return from Siete Aguas to the highway is recommended along the road to avoid the stone path. And then to Requena along the same route, following the red milestones of the Turia-Cabriel Natural Trail through El Rebollar and the Magro River valley.
