Walk of the Oca

Technical details of the Walk of the Oca

 

Total distance. 4 Km

 

Total time. 1h 00min

In reality, this is the time we will need if we venture a few metres further on to the imposing bridge that crosses the Oca River at the entrance to the gorge.

 

Time of year. There are plenty of reasons

Throughout the year the Walk of the Oca is a good colophon to our visit to the locality of Oña. The imposing landscape that surrounds it and the pleasant of the route invite us to make it without haste, with the exception of four counted days in which the bad weather discourages it.

 

Required equipment. Comfortable clothing and footwear

The state of the route and the short distance to travel allow us to face it as the walk it is, but always taking into account the weather conditions. Consult our list of material and equipment for hiking. Read more.

Slope acumulate. 88 m   Slope positive. 44 m   Slope negative. 44 m

 

Difficulty. Low

 

Physical

With hardly any distance and an almost negligible gradient, except for a couple of short ramps, this excursion should not be a problem for us.

 

Severity of the environment

The walk is well conditioned and protected from traffic in areas where we advance next to the national so as long as we do not leave the marked itinerary and apply common sense should not find complications, as long as the terrain conditions are normal good weather. However, we must not forget that we are surrounded by the enormous cliffs of the gorge so we are not exempt from possible rock falls.

 

Orientation

Embedded by the conditioning of its layout the greatest complications will find them to find their beginning, not having clear in advance where we should go. Likewise, at the end of the Walk of the Oca the doubts will be able to assault us since the marks of the footpaths with which it coincides invite us to continue without any sign warns us of the end of our route.
