    Very varied walk on gravel track with quite a long uphill slog. Great views and plenty of vultures.

    This was an excellent route! Perfectly described by the author. Well worth doing. Excellent way marks. Navigation was quite easy. Fantastic feeling of being up in the wilderness. Only one point I would add is that the start is actually at the entrance to the car park where you turn onto an open meadow heading uphil. You can clearly see tracks going left and right up ahead.

    This is a lovely, highly popular route along the line of the river Cares and the canal carved into the mountain. However the profile and timing is incorrect, the return trip is 1,400m of gain and drop, and 5-6 hrs of hiking.

    I walk a lot mainly in the UK coastal paths. This is not a challenging walk but extremely enjoyable, scenic and possibly the most enjoyable walk of my lifetime. I walked in October and it was busy. I would not like to walk it in Jul/ August when I assume it is much busier. Not for people who suffer from vertigo!

    Ruta del Cares

    3 Stunden ist wohl die reine gelaufene Zeit ohne Pausen zu machen und die Perspektiven zu genießen (worum es schade wäre, da die Tour sehr abwechslungsreich ist). Bei den Höhenmetern habe ich spontan auch Zweifel. Andererseits geht es bisweilen ordentlich bergauf und bergab: Da kommt vielleicht schon so eine Größenordnung zusammen. Wir sind hin und zurück in 10 Stunden gelaufen mit Pausen zwischendurch und am Wendepunkt. Ein netter Hund wird niemanden stören. Ob er das durchhält kannst nur Du einschätzen. Anhaltspunkt: viele Familien mit relativ kleinen Kindern gehen den Weg (in nur einer Richtung mit Transfer zurück). Wird also eher als sportlicher Sonntagsspaziergang eingestuft. Genug zu trinken mitnehmen, da es unterwegs keine Verpflegungsmoglichkeiten gibt. Am Wendepunkt gibt es Restaurants und Lebensmittel (zu normalen Preisen).

    Auch bei viel Andrang eine spektakuläre, nicht allzu leichte Tour - trittsicher und schwindelfrei sollte man schon sein. Die Spanier laufen bzw. rennen in der Regel schnell vorbei, schlimmer sind große Touristengruppen, die den Weg blockieren. Sonst eine einzigartige Schlucht, inklusive Geier und frisch gefallene, abgenagte Gemsen- bzw. Ziegengerippe! Absolut empfehlenswert. Aufstiege möglich (z.B. Canal de Trea).
