This route has two departure points depending on the kilometers that we want to make. We can start from the village of
Espot or from the parking of the national park, at 4km of Espot. The outward and the inward can be done by
the same road.
We will have to cross the whole village to arrive to the beginning of the route. We will continue right for the main road
until it forces us to rotate; we will turn right and we will continue walking. We will see that the Escrita river is on the
left side.
We will see the Bridge of Capella of Romanesque style , for where we cross the river. Soon we will see the
indication towards San Mauricio's Lake, we will catch the deviation turning right, that deviation will leave us at
the entrance of the parking of the Natural Park.
The second point from where we will be able to begin the route to the Refuge of Amitges it is the parking of the
natural park (Km. 4). If we have gone in car we will have a parking to be able to leave it, because the entrance of cars is
not allowed innside the park. Beside the entrance we will find the hut of the forest
|
guards. They will give information about the park, as well as their norms. Once we have crossed the parking, we will see on our right hand a
wooden small grate that will drive us for a road adapted for seats of wheels. This road goes into a forest of firs, red pines
and black pines until finding the river that will follow it in a parallel way.
Once we cross the river, we will leave behind the even forest of pines and we will enter in a wide valley of grass with few
trees.
Will not take a lot in realize that the masters of this earth are the cows, accustomed to walk and to pasture where
they want.
|
Once we have left the grasslands behind we will go away from the river, ascending until we find the San Mauricio's Hermitage
on the right hand. We will be able to refresh ourselve with the fresh water of the fountain that is by the side of the hermitage. In
a few minutes we will find a vantage point where we could enjoy the snoey mountains,
although we will go at the beginning of June.
Beside the lake we will find another hut of information of the park, where we could inform ourselves of the origins of the
lakes, as well as of the different flora and fauna that we can find in the park.
