비스카스 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Crowded on the way there. Avoid weekends, but the return trip takes you along small paths with magnificent views. https://youtu.be/Ok7Ho9e7DwM?si=Zw-F5dc7hrTHr3sT

Small refuge that is located on one of the ridges near the Ibón de Piedrafita and that also allows us to fully see the northern side of the Sierra de Partacua.

Before reaching the Arco de Piedrafita we find these beautiful views of the southernmost part of the Sierra de Patacua. Impressive!!

Beautiful path not only for its surroundings but also for the views offered by Peña Telera on its north face, with a drop of many meters of rock. One of the highest peaks of the Sierra de Partacua.

The stream that descends from the Ibón de Piedrafita descends to what is called the Refugio de Telera, in some ridges of pasture meadows with a spectacular setting!

The construction of Fort Santa Elena began in the reign of Felipe II (1527-1598) as part of the fortification of the border with France. It was partially destroyed during the War of Independence (1807 - 1814) and rebuilt between 1884 and 1889. In 1905 it was rebuilt again and has been used for civilian purposes since 1926. In 2004 the Ministry of Defense sold the facility to a private investor. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuerte_de_Santa_Elena

I wouldn't have expected it here. In addition to the Santa Elena dolmen, there are several testimonies of this type, e.g. in Guarrinza, on the ascent to Puerto del Palo, Canal Roya and Puerto de Escalé. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dólmenes_de_Santa_Elena_(Biescas)

Legend has it that Saint Helena took refuge in the cave from which the fountain flows and was protected by a spider's web until the danger that awaited her passed. When he came out of the cave, the spring gushed out and for this reason the hermitage was built in his honor in this place.
