Benagéber Reservoir

From here we will reach the Cosín and Bercuta springs. Before reaching the abandoned hamlet of Bercuta we can take a detour that will take us to the Benagéber reservoir and later rejoin the original route.

Barchel Suspension Bridge and Waterfall

We return to the path until we reach Bercuta, where we take a detour that will take us through thick pine forests to the Turia River and the spectacular wooden suspension bridge that leads us to the path next to the waterfall and Barchel cave, a wetland area included in the catalog of Valencian Community wetlands.
