This anticlockwise circular route goes from the Centro de Visitantes Puerto Lobo to the Cruz de Víznar. It is 11.2km long, has an elevation of 432m and takes approximately 4 hours to complete.
The walk starts at the Centro de Visitantes Puerto Lobo in the Sierra de Huétor. We first visit the Trincheras del Maúllo, a series of trenches from the time of the Spanish Civil War. We follow the SLA 123 track through the Barranco de la Umbria between the Cerro de las Calaveras (1586m) on our left and the Cerro del Pino (1466m) on our right. A bit further, we take the left track which leads to the Cueva del Agua. From here, we climb above the cave and walk on to the Cruz de Víznar where there are fantastic views of the Sierra and Granada. From here, we make our way back to the starting point. There is a good eating point just below the Cruz de Viznar but on the day we last did this walk it was a bit windy so we ate in the forest just before. There is a sign up saying that it is not recommeded to go up to the Cruz de Viznar. It is OK it is not very dangerous. The photo is of us coming down from the cross.
