Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Sumacàrcer

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 trail takes you to the castle of Sumacàrcel, an Islamic construction with a late medieval extension, from where you have privileged panoramic views of the municipality and the region.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde el punto de inicio de la ruta, seguimos por el margen derecho de la carretera hasta enlazar con un sendero de subida con la ayuda de unos escalones naturales, la Senda del Castellet.

No muy lejos del inicio encontraremos un pequeño mirador desde donde se puede ver Sumacàrcer en primer plano y todo el paisaje que lo rodea: el río Júcar y los campos de naranjos que cubren sus orillas, y al fondo la presa de Tous.

Continuamos la subida en zigzag hasta alcanzar el muro del castillo junto el que iremos hasta entrar al recinto del castillo. En este punto la visita es circular. Iremos hacia la derecha, a buscar el borde del muro para ver las vistas que nos ofrece este punto del municipio, por el margen acordonado con postes y cuerdas.

Continuamos el recorrido dirigièndonos hacia la parte más septentrional donde se encuentran los restos del castillo de la señoría y desde donde, como punto elevado, podemos contemplar amplias vistas.

Ahora ya de regreso tomamos la senda de la derecha y realizamos así un recorrido circular, alcanzando la entrada principal por el otro lado.

El descenso hasta la carretera se realiza por la misma senda por la que realizamos el ascenso. Ya en la carretera, nos dirigimos hacia la izquierda, entrando al municipio por la calle Florida,hasta el punto de inicio del sendero.
