Gerbe between Nature, Church Art and Tower Houses

Gerbe is located on a river terrace that connects various habitats: the area shaped by the Mediano Reservoir, reforested pine forests, fields and the nearby high mountains.

Other places in the overview are Colungo, Torrente, Boltaña, Villanúa, Perarrúa, Lasaosa, Viacamp Y Litera and Anciles.

Nature

The Sendero Ornitológico de Gerbe partly follows an old path used by the inhabitants of Gerbe. Along the route, signs made from recycled materials provide information about the birds and orchids visible there.

Depending on the season, migrating cranes can be observed on the Sendero; the song of the golden oriole can also be heard, likewise depending on the season. The route is considered accessible to all target groups, is approximately 4.5 kilometres long and has an elevation difference of 10 metres.

Birdwatching on the Sendero Ornitológico de Gerbe ends at the Hide Birding Sobrarbe, where visitors can observe birds feeding in the surrounding area. Birdwatching also includes a visit with a specialised guide.

The route length and elevation difference provide two separate figures for planning your own day. You can consider the information on species, seasons and accompaniment independently when planning your days in nature.

Culture

In the Iglesia de San Miguel, a folk-style wall altarpiece depicts Saint Michael weighing the souls and spearing the devil. The side panels show Santiago Matamoros and Saint Martin.

Casa la Abadía consists of a square defensive tower and a later-built rectangular residential wing attached to the tower. La Abadía de Gerbe is considered one of the tower houses of Alto Aragón. Casa Abadía in Gerbe dates from the 16th century and is classified as a Bien de Interés Cultural.

Cruz de San Antonio, also called Cruz de casa Murillo, is classified as a Bien de Interés Cultural in Gerbe. On 17 January, a pilgrimage takes place in Gerbe to the Cruz de San Antonio de Casa Murillo.

The Fosa de Gerbe project concerns a grave containing five victims of the Franco regime in the area of the Barranco de Las Natas, specifically in the Mina Tierra area. The localisation and marking of the grave at Fosa de Gerbe are understood as an act of honouring a place of remembrance.

On the offer pages for a holiday apartment in Gerbe, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions. Alongside the nature, culture and event topics, this information can be incorporated separately into your personal planning.

On the first Sunday in October, a festival in honour of the Virgen del Rosario takes place in Gerbe. The pilgrimage in January and the festival in October fall at different points in the course of the year and can be considered separately in your own planning.
