The Nogaleas Gorge Route is a circular hiking trail that explores one of the most scenic natural areas near Navaconcejo. The trail begins at the old bridge over the Jerte River and climbs along the gorge through a path equipped with steps next to several waterfalls created by the Nogaleas stream. Throughout the route hikers pass through riverside woodland and slopes covered with cherry orchards, with panoramic views of the valley and the Puerto de Tornavacas mountain pass. The trail provides a cool and shaded environment thanks to the presence of oak and chestnut trees, making it particularly pleasant during warm seasons.
