Culture

In Lecumberry, the present-day parish church of Saint-Martin was built between 1867 and 1874 after the former church near the fortified house of Donamartia threatened to collapse.

The Church of Saint-Martin in Lecumberry has figurative stained-glass windows from the Maumejean workshop in Biarritz and Madrid.

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Lecumberry can include this in their travel plans.

Nature

In the wider region around Lecumberry, the Iraty Forest covers more than 17,000 hectares and is considered Europe's largest beech forest.

The Archilondo marsh is a large wetland with characteristic flora and fauna, including endangered and protected species.

The Mikelauenzilo Cave is very difficult to access. The route to the main entrance has an incline of around 40 percent over 250 metres, while the route to the secondary entrance has an incline of more than 45 percent over 120 metres. Both entrances are protected by grilles with horizontal bars.

Hiking and Activities

The Buluntza hiking route is an easy, 4.5-kilometre hike for families.

After a short ascent, the Buluntza hiking route reaches the Col de Buluntza and its dolmen.

From the Col de Buluntza pass, the view extends across the Estérenguibel side towards the Iraty Forest landscape and the peaks of Okabe, Errozate and Urkulu.

The hiking route to Iraukotuturru follows a transhumance trail and mountain ridges and is reserved for experienced hikers.

The hiking route to Iraukotuturru is difficult, involves 800 metres of elevation gain and takes around five hours.

On the hike to Okabe, it is possible to take a detour to the site of the cromlechs and to the 1,466-metre-high southern peak. From there, there is a view of the Navarrese side of the Iraty Forest.

Ur eta Lur offers guided activities in the Basque Country in the areas of canyoning, caving and hiking.

Guided canyoning activities are available as half-day tours, full-day tours or as part of a stay, for participants of all experience levels.
