Dehesa De Montejo: Trails, Yew Trees and Regional Peaks

Dehesa de Montejo is a place where a specifically described trail connects with a named cultural destination and an expansive natural area. The 22.5-kilometre Alternative 2 of the Ruta Perazancas de Ojeda to Dehesa de Montejo joins the main trail again in Dehesa de Montejo. At the entrance to the village, this alternative provides access to the Iglesia de San Pelayo church.

Trails and Culture

Another trail description takes the Ruta del Carbón de Cok, Stage 2, through Dehesa de Montejo. The different names and trail formats can be considered separately when planning your own trip. The stated distance can help put the scope of the trail into perspective; a cultural stop and the route through the village remain separate aspects. Those combining several interests can view route information and cultural connections as separate components of the day's itinerary.

Nature and Landscape

Dehesa de Montejo is one of the ten municipalities of the Parque Natural Montaña Palentina. Millennia-old yew trees grow in the Valle de Tosande in the Sierra de la Peña. In the Tejeda de Tosande, there are yew trees with a diameter of 1.5 metres and an age of nearly one thousand years. The information on age and diameter provides two specific measures for considering the landscape.

The information about nature and the trail can be considered as two different levels when planning. The Senda de la Tejeda de Tosande is signposted and forms part of the public trail network of the Parque Natural de la Montaña Palentina. It begins at a car park beside the road between Cervera de Pisuerga and Cantoral de la Peña.
