SL-CV 95 BALCÓN DE MIJARES

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Arañuel

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 route runs through the northern part of the municipality of Arañuel, alternating between tracks and paths and leading to two groups of country estates that show the importance they once had. The imposing forests contrast with the final part, where old crops predominate.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde la Fuente de la Pechina cruzamos el puente sobre el río Mijares para seguir recto por camino cementado para, en el siguiente cruce de caminos, abandonar el SL-CV 96 que sigue hacia la izquierda. Seguimos recto para, a pocos metros, tomar el camino hacia la derecha hasta llegar a una curva muy cerrada a la derecha por donde sale un sendero a nuestra izquierda. Seguimos por este, que va ganando progresivamente altura, hasta llegar a una pista para continuar a nuestra derecha y volver a tomar un sendero a nuestra izquierda en sentido ascendente hasta volver a cruzar otra pista y seguir recto por senda, llegando a un campo de cultivos de secano. Abandonamos la masa boscosa, cruzamos el campo para llegar a las masías del Plano de Arriba. Cruzamos el conjunto y seguiremos por senda llaneando hasta volver a salir a una pista y a la masía del Plano de Abajo, cruzaremos la pista y por senda llegaremos a la fuente del Manzano.
