Cuesta Fría beech wood
Sheltered between the limestone peaks of the Moledizos, in the Western Massif of the imposing Picos de Europa on its Leonese side, hides the majestic beech forest of Cuesta Fría, a natural jewel declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Let yourself be seduced by the wild beauty of this forest, which for centuries has populated a steep mountainside, watered by the icy waters of the Dobra River, and which especially in autumn offers one of the most extraordinary landscapes of nature on the continent. . Walk among its more than 200 hectares of ancient trees, which are kept in an exceptional state of conservation, and look for the famous 'Roblón' of Cuesta Fría, a unique example of oak whose perimeter exceeds seven meters and which has become everything a symbol of the Valdeón Valley.
Access from Soto de Sajambre requires patience, it has some sections with a certain inclination, but it offers a beautiful route through bridges, meadows and streams that are just a taste of what we are going to find. A unique natural gem lost in time where you can enjoy nature in its purest and wildest state.
Are you going to miss it?
