We can say that this route and that of the Caminito del Rey are two of the most dangerous hiking routes.

The distance of this route is rather short. It only has 3 kilometers counting the round trip, but as we say, due to its great difficulty can take up to 3 hours to complete the route. Trekking for the brave, right?

Oma Forest Route

For lovers of hiking, nature and the outdoors, we leave you one more route that has nothing to envy the others mentioned above. This route shines by itself and is also one of the best known in Spain.

It is located in Vizcaya and besides being called Bosque de Oma you can also find this route by the name of Bosque Pintado. Why that name? Because the painter and sculptor Agustín Ibarrola, made his work directly in the trunks of the trees.

It attracts a lot of attention because you won’t be able to make sense of this work of art from all positions. On the floor there are some points where you can find the total visualization of the work.

Speaking of the route, it is 7 kilometers away. The time of duration is approximately something more than 2 hours including the round trip, although it will depend on the time that you throw yourself admiring the work of art of Agustín.

It is one of the most famous routes in northern Spain. Many curious people come only to observe the drawings although it is also true that the route attracts a lot of attention for its green pastures and leafy forests.
