Mero River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a simple, completely flat, compact dirt river walk. It runs along the Mero river, which is about 40 km long, but in the middle of its route, it forms, together with its tributary the Barcés river, the Cecebre reservoir, which supplies drinking water to the city of A Coruña and its surroundings.

It is a protected natural space with the figure of LIC (Place of Community Importance) of the Natura 2000 Network. Where we will find forests of native trees.

At some point we will have to cross secondary roads to get back on track, these will be the slopes of the journey.

It does not have fountains or rest areas, so it is advisable to bring something to eat and drink and make the stop directly at the reservoir, there is a beach.

If it rained days before your departure it is likely that you will find mud and puddles.
