Be careful when starting the descent from the peak to the village; it's easy to leave the path. The gradient is 16%.

From it you can see a large part of the Cuenca Mountains and the entire valley of the Escabas River.

A great place to cool off in the water or rest on the small beach. Clean water and trees provide shade. In summer there may be a lot of people.

Wonderful place that you can visit at any time of the year. It is usually more crowded in the summer months since the beach located here is an ideal place to enjoy a refreshing bath in its waters. It also has parking from where you can start your routes.

With a curious name but great beauty, this natural waterfall on the Sima stream is a place worth visiting. It is located just 1 kilometer from the town of Fuertescusa and is undoubtedly one of its main attractions.

Trail Run
August 4, 2022, Fuertescusa

Fuertescusa is a town in the Serranía Alta de Cuenca dedicated to active tourism and outdoor sports. In the municipality there are signposted hiking trails, mountain biking routes, via ferratas, sports ravines, mountain landscapes, accommodation, good cuisine and also fantastic trails for running in the mountains. On this occasion we have chosen the PR-CU 114 for the panoramic views from the Cucurucho viewpoint and to get to know the most isolated, wild and unknown section of the Escabas River in the Hocecilla canyon.
