バルサデベスの峡谷・トップ7

The trail through the Júcar Canyon is where you will find remains of the works carried out in the 50s to build a hydroelectric system. There are tunnels and canals along the trail.

The trail continues from here, but if you are mountain biking this might be a good place to return. The view of this gigantic wall is one of the main sites of the Júcar Canyon. It is almost 200 meters high and deserves a photo or two.

This is the exit or entrance of the tunnel that is about three kilometers long. The doors at both ends are open and you have several vents along the route where you can carefully peek out and see the river gorge. It is essential to use a flashlight or headlamp, since there are no lights inside. Note that you may find some bats hovering around. They are not dangerous, but they can surprise you.

This gigantic wall is one of the icons of the Júcar canyon. Here you can perceive the immensity of the deep cleft of almost vertical walls reaching about 200 meters in height.

Along the Júcar canyon you can find the remains of the impressive hydroelectric work from the 50s. This water channeling work connects the Molinar dam and the Basta waterfall, where the water is released to produce energy.

The first climb from Casas del Rio to Balsa de Ves is very hard. The road is in poor condition and has a lot of slope!

From Balsa de Ves it's an absolutely beautiful route down to the Rio Cabriel and then up again towards La Portera. An absolutely breathtaking route - you discover something new at every bend. At the Rio Cabriel there is a bathing area and a campsite as well as an old hydraulic water wheel.

This is one of the highest points on the path from where you can enjoy spectacular views of the Júcar River without being hampered by pine trees. In addition, here you will also find a source of drinking water and a pool to cool off.
