Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park

Nature · Tragacete, Serranía Alta, Cuenca

Protected area of some 73,700 hectares declared under Law 5/2007 of Castilla-La Mancha, which covers ten municipalities including Tragacete, Huélamo, Valdemeca and Zafrilla, and borders on its north-western edge the Alto Tajo natural park. It preserves one of the finest forest masses in central Spain, with extensive pine forests and mixed woodland, and brings together sites of great value such as the Ciudad Encantada, the source of the río Cuervo, the Torcas de los Palancares, the Laguna de Uña and the Hoz de Beteta, several of them declared Natural Monuments. It has three visitor centres: the main one, in Tragacete, another dedicated to water in Uña, and one focused on the park's botany in Valdemeca.
