Natural Park Lobos River Canyon is one of the most spectacular natural spaces in the province of Soria in which the river, limestone dissolution over the years, has created a deep canyon boxed extending into the provinces of Soria and Burgos along over 25 km.
The route can be done in several ways: the most common is the one that leads from Ucero to the Bridge of the Seven Eyes, with a distance of about 12 km, but may extend it to the town of Pinar Hontoria during another 12 km, thus completing the full course will cañón.Nosotros the first part that runs entirely by the Soria.
We start from the delightful town of Soria Ucero, with the remains of an ancient castle of XII century. From the village we head toward the river, through the Interpretation Center (House Park) which provides information for all activities that can be done in the park, which features an exhibition of the natural values \u200b\u200bof the same.
continue without losing this first stage for about 3 km until you reach the beautiful chapel of St. Bartholomew, a former Romanesque monastery of St. John Templar Otero, built in the first third of the twelfth century. Behind the chapel lies the Cueva Grande, one of many caves available to the area, really great and we can admire in peace.
From here we cross a wooden bridge to start the second phase of about 9 km about taking us to the Bridge of the Seven Eyes, on the border of the province of Soria.
The road is comfortable, with little slope, overlooking the spectacular and then holed Colmenar rocky wall of the Friars. In this section the river narrows its channel, making it even more impressive the huge walls of the canyon, having to cross the river several times, one at the confluence of the stream of the river Valderrueda Lobos. In much of the route will have the opportunity contemplate the wealth of valuable fauna that inhabit this space among which include griffon vultures that inhabit the huge holes of the rocks, as well as various types of eagles (real, short-toed and road), hawks, owls, hawks, etc. We
the source area of \u200b\u200bthe corner where there is a large rocky dome indicated access to see the Black Cave, another chamber of the barrel. The trail near the river and reach the Las Fuentes, through which the path of Cañada Real Merina (PR 49), one of the many trails that meander through the park. At this point the canyon opens way through dense stands of Corsican pine, the road becomes a track that crosses the river several times, until you reach the Bridge of the Seven Eyes, the end of this section and the route.
From here we enter into the province of Burgos and it would be possible to continue the route through the canyon for about 12 miles until the town of Pinar Hontoria. This part of the canyon is less visited but no less beautiful, and has the attraction of being much less busy. PHOTOS
