SL-CV 46 CAMÍ DE LA MOLA D´ARES

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Ares del Maestrat

Certification status: No quality controls

0 reviews

There is no proof of quality control on the record of this trail in the last years. For this reason, it is unknown whether it complies with the optimal signage and maintenance conditions for hikers to take the trail following these signs exclusively.
Hikers have to take into consideration that the information about the signage and maintenance of the trails for which the promoter entity is responsible might not be up to date anymore, since it refers to its state on the date of its approval. 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 circular path leads to one of the most iconic places in the interior of Castellón, Mola de Ares. This plateau is a result of differential erosion and its edges form large steep cliffs. La Mola is the highest point in the municipality of Ares. It is a privileged place to enjoy the best panoramic views of the valleys and mountains of Els Ports and Alt Maestrat. It was declared a Local Natural Area of Interest, for its ecological, scenic, scientific and recreational value.
