베나제베르 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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

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.

Magnificent reservoir, definitely a hiking destination!

The "Chorros de Barchel", also known as the "Barchel Wetland" or as the "Barchel waterfall and cave", is a beautiful area declared a Municipal Natural Site since 2016 that is located between the canyons of the Turia River, in the municipality. municipal of Chelva and next to the reservoir and the town of Benagéber. Its most spectacular corner is the source of the Barchel jets, also called the pool or cave of the Barchel Wetland, 50 meters of waterfall to be able to contemplate - when water falls -, which are born at a height and can be contemplated at the foot of the pool to join to the Turia River.

On the side next to the bridge there is a small natural entrance for a cool down in the Rio Turia.

At the end of July, the waterfalls are also beautiful to look at, but hardly have any water.

From here you have beautiful views of the Benagéber reservoir and its dam, which retains the waters of the Turia. It has become an environment frequented in summer by those who seek to cool off in its waters surrounded by nature.

It is a precious protected space where groundwater meets surface runoff and, on limestone ground, shapes a landscape of waterfalls, caves and green, humid corners.
