Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Montesa

Certification status: Conditioned quality control

1 review

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.

The itinerary is located in the area of influence of the fluvial axis of the region: the Cànyoles river. The Barranc de la Fos ravine is a natural space of great environmental value and the path that runs parallel to it allows you to appreciate its biodiversity and good state of conservation.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde Casa de Onis nos dirigimos en dirección SE a encontrar el cauce del Río Canyoles al que llegamos en poco tiempo y empezamos a caminar en paralelo 280 m por el bosque de ribera hasta llegar a un poste de señalización. Cruzamos, con precaución el río y nos adentramos en el barranco entre grandes paredes para, a 600m tomar en desvío a la izquierda hacia la Casa de Ana Terol, adonde llegamos tras una ligera subida. Retomamos el camino y volvemos de nuevo al barranco y lo continuamos a nuestra izquierda (dirección S). Seguimos por barranco, desechando la unión de otro barranco que nos entra por la derecha, pasaremos las ruinas de una antigua casa, con abundante vegetación y con cotas a ambos lados hasta llegar a la Fuente del Melo. El final del recorrido se adentra unos 600 m más en el barranco.
