アストルガの絶景の山頂・トップ4

Enjoy a beautiful panorama.

The "iron cross" here on Monte Irago, which is legendary for many pilgrims on the Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela to the grave of the Apostle James the Greater, has since been replaced by a copy at the original location. The cross, which appears comparatively small due to its enormous height, is on the top of a very long tree trunk and protrudes from a constantly growing pile of stones. Many pilgrims take a stone with them on the Way of St. James and place it here. This stone symbolizes the burdens and hardships of the pilgrims (or their family members and friends at home), who symbolically cast off their worries at this point with the stone and can thus move on free of them.

Very nice view of the outstanding landscape

Great views, but a hard climb up to Cruz de Ferro, especially in the rain

Within the route there is a section of particular beauty between Vegaquemada and Candanedo, where the route repeatedly crosses the Porma River, using two walkways and a small pontoon built of wood. The route flows through a place of low forest and riverside trees of enormous landscape value. A town under the symbolic guardianship of the "Peña Tobal", an elevation of modest altitude and tuff stone.

Very nice Ausdicht because you walk on the ridge. The view is really breathtaking.

The Cruz de Ferro (Spanish: Cruz de Hierro, dt.: Iron Cross) is a small iron cross that, mounted on a tree trunk, marks the highest point of the Camino Francés on Monte Irago at 1500 msnm in the Montes de León.

Great view on the stage from Rabanal del Camino to Ponferrada.
