Puente De Vadillos: Nature, Gorges and Holiday Apartments

The PR-CU 92 Ruta del embalse del Molino de Chincha begins in Puente De Vadillos. The route follows the right bank of the Río Cuervo northeast to the dam of the Embalse del Molino de Chincha. It is 4.5 km long, linear and has a low difficulty level.

Along its entire length, the PR-CU 92 runs in the shade of a dense pine forest surrounding the waters of the Embalse del Molino de Chincha. For day planning, the route type, length and difficulty level can be considered separately; these three details describe different aspects of the same route and complement one another when assessing it.

Nature

The construction of the Presa del Molino de Chincha makes use of a narrow limestone passage considered unique and exceptionally beautiful. Outside Cañizares lies the Hoz de Tragavivos, a natural gorge that combines geology, water and forest. Just over a kilometre from Puente De Vadillos, the Mirador de la Ermita de las Angustias offers a view of the beginning of the Hoz de Beteta.

On the way to the entrance of the Cueva del Sierpe, there is a small wooden railing and a staircase leading down to the entrance. When finding your way, the railing and the descending staircase can be considered separate route details alongside viewpoints and gorge landscapes.

Activity

The Vía ferrata de la hoz de Beteta has a moderate K2/K3 difficulty level. It can be reached from Puente De Vadillos via the CM-210; parking is available in the vicinity before the bridge over the Río Guadiela.

For planning purposes, activity type, route type and difficulty level can be used separately when comparing the route and the Vía ferrata as different forms of activity.
