This bridge is an incredible find in the middle of the forest. It is covered with ivy and in summer it is so green that it is hardly visible. If you go down next to the river you can take some great photos with the water and the bridge. For many years this bridge has had to survive numerous floods. It's amazing that he's still here.

The Artzubi Romanesque bridge was built in the 16th century. Wherever you see it, it has overcome floods and floods from the Golako River, which passes below and flows into the Oka River. In another time there were more bridges like this one, but it is the only one in the area that has endured. https://www.urdailife.com/artzubi-puente-cuento-arratzu-mendata/

This is the point where one of the most brutal climbs in the Basque Country begins. This climb between mills has been the end of several stages of the tour of the Basque Country, with an impressive arrival among crowds.

The Balcony of Bizkaia is the viewpoint from which to enjoy the most mountainous landscape of the Urdaibai basin. Located on the slopes of the Oiz, the balcony of Bizkaia is an emblematic enclave from where you can see the forest mass of the area in all its breadth. There is a legend that tells that this place was a place where the witches met when night fell. The complete ascent from Lekeitio is 21 kilometers but everything gets more interesting in the last 7 kilometers (this section), in which you will ascend from 123 meters above sea level to 423.
