Eume Route
Distance: 7 km
Approx. time: 2h 30m
Difficulty: Low
1.- We enter the "Fragas do Eume" through one of the areas with the best accessibility. Accompanied by the musical symphony of the river Eume and the streams that flow into it, we pass through areas where life takes on thousands of different forms; each one of them an essential part of an ecosystem as fragile as it is persistent...
2.- When the path narrows we are approaching the monumental complex of "Caveiro", an obligatory visit.
3.- From "Caaveiro" we go down to meet at the bridge of Santa Cristina with the Eume river, the true axis of the Natural Park.
4.- On the way back we follow the course of the river along its left bank, surrounded by Alders, Willows,... which form a forest within the forest, creating a particularly fresh, shady and rich space on the river banks. We will contemplate how life flows in every drop that flows in the rapids, puddles and on the banks.
5.- At the mouth of the San Bartalomeu we find the mini hydroelectric power station of "O Parrote", an antechamber to the power station of "A Ventureira".
