Itinerary description

This trail, the "Matterhorn of Valencia", is done counterclockwise

- Molló de la Creu, also named Molló de la Falconera (1.7 km)
- Cova de les Meravelles (2.7 km)

There are several smaller caves along the trail. One might consider dropping the visit to Cova de les Meravelles. It's a detour from the track which takes additional efforts and altitude. If you love seeing caves and want a nice photo opportunity (and still have energy) it's worth it. On the detour to the cave there are some ropes assisting you descending down to the cave. You must ascend back to the main track along the same way.

I consider the trail being moderate to difficult demanding. You should be a fit and experienced hiker.

The left sign which direct towards 'Molló de Falconera' is the 'alternative' name of Molló de la Creu. So don't be confused.
