Traslasierra Mountains MTB Route (Route 5)

Description

The Traslasierra Mountains MTB Route (Route 5) is one of the most demanding cycling routes in the Jerte Valley BTT Center network. This circular route begins at the riverside park next to the Jerte River in Navaconcejo and initially follows the right bank of the valley until reaching the Las Monjas Bridge. From there the trail begins a long and challenging climb of around 15 kilometers through cherry orchards, oak forests and rural tracks until reaching the highlands of the Traslasierra Mountains, where the route climbs to elevations of around 1,500 meters near Canchal del Maqui and the Vaquerizas area. After the highest point, the route descends towards the village of El Torno and later connects with sections of the GR-110 trail before returning along the Jerte River valley back to Navaconcejo.
