walk that part of the mouth of the creek Atrera where damming of the Huron is a small creek, to continue along the shoreline to the mouth of "the wild olive Regajo" which will begin a gentle climb to a lookout over the waters of "Pool of the Hurons," just where the former gravel pit and quarry that served to extract aggregate for the dam. If we continue the path you can climb up the hill or just skirting.
The Wikiloc route. route sheet.
Once the trail, following the stream course Atrera, soon find the waters of the lake of the Hurons. In the background the small massif of the Sierra de la Silla.
No fixed path, seeking the space between the water and vegetation, we will go looking for Cerro Cabeza de Santa Maria is already sensed in the background.
We draw attention to the root system has been eucalyptus air by erosion, searching the water more or less close to the height of the dam.
can later look even better, the elongated silhouette of the Sierra de la Silla with the peaks, from left to right, Higuerón Silla, Adrion, Torero and already at the bottom of Fatima Castle.
Cabezo will soon see the St. Mary's, conical hill skirt and even try to climb. The wire which is observed on the cross we infer a strong gate climbing.
will abandon the shore of the reservoir, after spending another half-fallen wire that is inserted into the water, crossing and leaving a gate on our left the hill Bermejo, recognizable by the old shed observation that crowns its summit.
Once crowned the small valley that lies between the anterior and one twin hill on your right, look for a gate on the left, giving us access to a wide lane, centered on a firewall without error and take us to the lookout. Here the vegetation is thick impenetrable making the climb to Mt.
A small trickle of water betrays the presence of this source where frogs and newts breed.
find quercus all common in these places: oak, Kermes, some oak and oaks with their new red "gills" in an outbreak last spring.
near the end of the route will meet again with the waters of the dam, calling attention to this beautiful island that we are other than the summit of Cerro del Juncal old. When the "Pool of the Hurons" reaches its peak, the vegetation seems to float above the green waters.
few meters before reaching the quarry, a diffuse path through the vegetation gives access to stairs that will allow us to go down to the old gravel pit by throwing themselves down the barren slope. The viewpoint is wonderful but we have to be careful with the holes, screws and twisted steel where it is easy to trip.
Incoming, outgoing, inlets, peninsulas, islands ... and the mass of the chair presiding over the place. The water is about 215 m high and is approaching the summit at 1,000 m, hence lifting the impression produced by this small mountain. His rise from the Esparragosilla is similar in hardness and unevenness to Torreon.
zoom camera allows us to confirm that the white spots of feces left by Adrion are vultures. At the height of the chair can also find nests, but the other side.
Once we return to the path a few meters will continue to appreciate the enormous bite that machines gave the hill (to near summit) for extract the necessary aggregates in the construction of the dam.
Back one last look at the spectacle of the mountains and the lake in perfect harmony of reflections and lights in the evening.
