시마네스 델 테하르 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

The Senda de Bas is a hiking route in Ponferrada, León, ideal for enjoying nature and the outdoors. This circular trail combines paths and trails through a beautiful natural landscape, including the Sil River, chestnut trees, oaks and a wide variety of local fauna.

It is also known as Cruz de Fierro (Iron Cross). A mountain landmark (1504 m) that stands on the French Way in the mountains of León as it passes through the province of the same name, corresponding to the autonomous community of Castilla y León. 230 km from Santiago. It is one of the best-known and most symbolic places of all the Jacobean routes, and perhaps for this reason the most mythologised and exciting, with the Monte do Gozo de Santiago, the first place from which pilgrims on the French Way observe the city of Santiago.

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many pilgrims on the Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela to the grave of the Apostle James the Greater, has since been replaced by a copy at the original location.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, stands out from a constantly growing pile of stones at the top of a very long tree trunk. Many pilgrims take a stone with them on the Way of St. James and lay it here. This stone symbolizes the burdens and needs of the pilgrims (or their family members and friends at home), who in this way symbolically cast off their worries at this point with the stone, and can thus move on free of them.

If you have the opportunity to explore this trail, you will enjoy the natural beauty and ecological richness of the area. Good hike! 🌿🚶‍♀️

Obligatory passage for the pilgrim! Mythical.

A pedestrian bridge over the Sil River that connects the Senda de Bas and the Senda Romeros on both sides of the river landscape. Link with The Light Factory and the Energy Museum.

Incredible hiking route in the natural area that surrounds the Sil Ponferrada river. The path was built in 2018 as a tribute to former Dutch Olympic volleyball player Bas van de Goor, who founded the Foundation (BvdGF) to help people overcome diseases such as diabetes through sport. A very important mission, enough to inspire your adventure.

When we finish the pass we see the cross 😁
