Castle Peak (354 meters) is a mountain of extraordinary uniqueness, not only prehistoric caves hold 4 world relevance, but also for their characteristic conical shape and its location on the village of Puente Viesgo.
Its name comes from an early medieval fortress that existed at the top, where he subsequently built a small chapel dedicated to the Virgen del Castillo, and now a large cross. The climb to the summit altitude modest but really spectacular panoramic advisable for all visitors to Puente Viesgo.
The climb begins at Puente Viesgo in the La Llana, which is reached by going up the road towards a Burgos until reaching the hill, where we will turn right into a lane that links the neighborhood. We go up to the end of it, ending the asphalt in a house. The road continues to the left to arrive immediately at a crossroads: on the right step on the road to the caves, we continue to the left, by a narrow, leafy alleys.
A while later you reach another fork similar: the right to immediately leave the caves road, we climb to the left, a path with flights of stairs that leads to the parking lot of the prehistoric caves of Puente Viesgo, the Castle first.
now have to descend about 200 meters down the road, left to find the beginning of the road up to the summit. A zig-zag saves the steepness of the hill, among lush vegetation, almost completely around the top with magnificent views and changing the Pas valley encased in this section and above the broad valley Toranzo.
The road leads in the last mile to a trail marked with stakes that leads to the vantage point is the summit of Castle Peak (354 meters) with a cross, a small shrine and early medieval archaeological site for the fort which gave its name to Mt. The aerial views are spectacular and the town of Puente Viesgo and its surroundings, the valley and the mountains of Pas, the people of NAs and Daughters and the massif of Dobra.
