This long circular tour leaves hardly any wishes unfulfilled in terms of variety. After a leisurely start, it leads down to the old mills of Entrambosríos located deep in the forest valley and then climbs the southern slope of the Sil Valley through a small vineyard with the first major attraction of the tour: From the viewpoints Balcones de Madrid, you look from a bird's eye view into the gorge of the Río Sil, which is cut up to 500 m deep.

After a short open section, it goes again in gentle ups and downs through the forest. We pass a forest road diagonally to the left, shortly after a stream.

In more open terrain, the valley of the Río Sil can be glimpsed to the north. At the fork about 500 m after the road, we take the path on the far right. We hike uphill between walls and reach a picnic and fitness area at the top in a
