란자론‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 호수

The Rules Reservoir Dam is an impressive hydraulic structure located in the Alpujarras of Granada, which retains the waters of the Guadalfeo River. Surrounded by a mountain landscape, it offers spectacular views where the water merges with the natural surroundings.

A lovely place to cool off and spend a wonderful day in the surroundings.

We did this hike as a family with two children aged 7 and 11. The first part is very nice, but be careful, there are many river crossings to cross, so you quickly get your shoes wet. The landscapes overlooking the water reserve are magnificent. Be careful, the last part of the walk is very difficult, especially with children, because you have to climb 150m of altitude in full sun and at the end of the walk. The children were exhausted.

Beautiful little reservoir that is currently being filled by meltwater

The reservoir offers us beautiful views. Despite the proximity to the water, it is a place with few trees along the way. This must be taken into account in summer.

The trail is pretty easy to find until you get to the waterfalls. To reach Laguna Hondera you must climb up beside the first waterfall. That is between the two waterfalls. There are cairns on the path but it’s quite easy to miss them amongst the other routes up there. It’s a beautiful location. We saw a few ibex but only 2 other hikers!

The area of the Seven Lagoons (and Laguna Hondera in particular) is one of the most beautiful places in the Sierra Nevada National Park. The climb up here next to the waterfall formed by the Chorreras Negras is demanding, but all the pain in your legs is forgotten as soon as you reach the top and see the beauty of the place. Important note: if you plan to spend the night here, do not pitch your tent in the borreguiles (the grasslands). They are home to several species of flora endemic to the Sierra Nevada and it is necessary to protect them.

Beautiful perspective of the reservoir located on the Ízbor river, in the Lecrín valley. The dam was built with three objectives: to improve irrigation for farmers on the Costa Tropical, to supply water to the surrounding populations and to protect themselves from possible floods.
