Promoter: S.M. Societat Excursionista de València Guaita

Certification status: Conditioned quality control

0 reviews

Following the inspection carried out by trail technicians, this trail has been declared of "limited adequacy" as a result of the faults detected in the signage. These include inadequate horizontal signs (paint markers) and/or vertical ones (trailheads and information boards) or lacking direction markers that do not provide sufficient information to properly follow the route. The builder of this trail has been informed of the situation.
For safety reasons and during maintenance work, it is advised to be extremely careful while taking this route. Furthermore, mountain sports entail risks associated with the activity itself and the environment where they take place, for which any person is fully liable. For this reason, hikes need to be planned properly and adequate training, equipment and sensible use of the trails are required.

This variant, from the Zarza spring, allows you to visit the cave paintings of Rincón del Tío Escribano.

Iniciamos la variante en las inmediaciones de la fuente de la Zarza en dirección NO, pasando por la vía ferrata de la Lámpara. Más adelante llegamos a la incorporación del SL-CV 30 y seguimos en sentido NO. Poco a poco bajamos y atravesamos el barranco de la Tejería, ascendiendo por su vertiente izquierda hasta el desvío a las pinturas del Tío Escribano. Continuamos por la partida de la Tejería en sentido NE y luego E, hasta alcanzar los corrales de la Hoya del Hacha, donde nos incorporamos de nuevo al GR 37 principal.
