Routes VEGA DE LIÉBANA |
HILL-WALKING AROUND THE VALLEY OF VEGA DE LIÉBANA We are going to begin from the capital of the municipality, Vega de Liébana, to offer a varied list of hill-walking routes so that the traveller gets to know the magnificent tourist possibilities of this valley. From Vega de Liébana we can cross a bridge over the river
Quiviesa, on the left, and at the beginning of the road to Dobres begin
a walking route to Tollo. Along the first sections we watch the
river, now flowing together with the waters from Rio Frio. If we turn
backwards we´ll see a panoramic of Vega de Liébana and,
at the far end, the summits of Peña Prieta and From Campollo we can start a small walk to the hermitage of Santa Justa and for this purpose we set off from the district of Perigate along a track which taking us to the hermitage in a few minutes, placed in a promontory, where we can dominate the village´s situation and also its surroundings. Another trip begins at the district of Maredes taking us to the hill of La Viorna. From the higher are, next to the spring, the road begins, which becomes a path in many points. It will take us quickly through the holm oak wood and begin a short ascension to arrive at the hill´s summit, where a great cross stands, and where there is one of the most beautiful panoramics of Liébana, the Cantabrian mountain range, and Picos de Europa. From the village of Bárago we can reach the district
of Cucayo (Dobres), through the old track of Las Retuertas. We
set off from the parochial church and catch a path passing next to the
cemetery. Shadowed by oaks and poplars we cross the Entreovejas river
and from here a strong ascent with many turns begins, reaching Collada
de las Ánimas, with a view to Dobres and Cucayo. We penetrate
an oak wood and later the meadows to cross a bridge over Río
Frío and arrive at the village of Cucayo, with many houses
still preserving traditional architecture. From Cucayo, one could reach
the mountain pastures of Río Frío, passing next to the
cultivated lands of Llan de Lon, the winter sheds, and later crossing
the bridge of Ranes. From Ledantes we can also ascend to Río Frío, crossing the bridges over the river San Andrés and the Valtiero stream, to go into the impressive beech wood, El Coterón, walking uphill continuosly, until we arrive to Corredores and Sestil de la Hoz, where, by crossing a porthole we reach the mountain pastures entry. Through the village of Barrio we can also reach the mountain
pastures of Pineda. It is one of the most classical and practised
routes. The journey starts along a track ascending From Vega de Liébana the old road to Bores departs, taken
before leaving the last village house on the right of the road leading
to San Glorio. It is a short route which, by walking by a holmoak
wood, leads us to the ravine of Santa Eulalia. The road forks, and by
taking the left one we arrive at the village of Bores. Along a track
starting next to the parochial church one could continue to arrive to
Enterrías, Without any doubt, one of the most singular routes is the one uniting the village of Dobarganes with Pico Jano peak. The route begins next to the first village houses and ascends until we pass next to the reservoir La Tejera. Then, we continue along the grassy area, a hut, winter cattle shed, and the water trough of Llandelagua, and by Llan de la Peña, finally reach Pico Jano (1,446 m). At the top there´s a geodesic vertex, and from this point one of the best panoramics in the valley of Liébana and Picos de Europa can be viewed.
