리가다 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A loop is possible starting from Joch (at the top of the village with a small parking area) to the main cross and descending via the 13 stations. Approximately 10 km and 500 m of elevation gain.

The lake itself is difficult to access, but there is an accessible, busy tourist area.

The village's history is rooted in its castle, mentioned as early as the 11th century. Thanks to its fortified position, Joch was recognized for six centuries as the capital of the "Barony," a territory occupying the entire plain. Today, only ruins remain of the castle. Only two medieval gates are still visible to the north and west, and the remains of the old chapel have been converted into a house. The church, dating from 1776, and its listed altarpieces enrich Joch's heritage, as does the 17th-century painted ceiling, uncovered in the former presbytery during its restoration. In addition to the built heritage, there is also the vernacular, which bears witness to an entire ancestral way of life.

Wonderful accommodation with a great breakfast and friendly host. We stayed there on our long-distance hike from Tarifa to Switzerland and can highly recommend the accommodation.

Beach easily accessible and parking nearby. Hardly any shade on the beach. Water play park for a fee: 1h - 9€ 2h - 16€ In addition, canoe rental by the hour and various snack options.

Dogs are not allowed on the walking path to the right of the lake, beach area

Be careful to avoid the main road on which there is a lot of traffic. Otherwise, the landscape is perfect, the lake extends on both sides of the road.

It is often very crowded here in the afternoons. It is best to come in the late morning
