グラナダの滝・トップ20

Experiences from November 2025: Access to the river from both sides is blocked and clearly marked with prohibition signs! At the marked location, there is a narrow bridge without railings. There is no sign of the waterfall or the attractive wooden bridge with railings shown in the photos by "expert" Oliver! The circular routes indicated under this trail are therefore completely unusable if you adhere to the prohibitions and barriers! We had to turn back and, unfortunately, retrace our steps. Very frustrating!

An impressive structure. When the water starts flowing over the top, it must have rained a lot in those mountains!

The sinter crusts of the lime-rich water make the tree trunks trapped in the waterfall appear petrified. Hence the common name "Cascada de los Arboles Petrificados" (Petrified Trees Cascade). However, these are not petrified trees, but mineral deposits in flowing water that cover both rocks and plants (sinter). Source: Wikiloc

A lovely place to cool off and spend a wonderful day in the surroundings.

Currently, a section of 800 meters is still heavily overgrown, with huge rosemary and sage bushes, as well as thorns. It's best to bring a stick or something similar to push them away. However, the view is unique, and the spring is a dream.

It is a short section, with a ladder and a rope, which the little ones usually like.

The waterfalls can probably only be seen if you walk through the river bed and this also carries water in summer. With hiking boots you get 100% wet feet. Water sandals would be the better shoe choice here. Apparently the path through the river is well known and people knew about it. At first it doesn't look like the river has any water at all, but then the path becomes greener and greener and there is no longer a path next to the river. Close your eyes and through or vice versa. Definitely full with the right footwear. After 200 m of wet feet, a small path begins on the left in the direction of the river, up through the olive trees.

The Lanjarón River rises in the high mountain of Sierra Nevada, under the peak of Veleta, and runs through the Lanjarón valley until it passes through the town of the same name and empties into the Rules dam.
