Itinerary description
Waypoints
Randufe's bridge
The river Xallas is 65km long. It starts nearby and flows into the Atlantic Ocean in a beautiful waterfall which is a geological jewel.Along the river the geological richnessis highly important because there are rocks from the Oceanic crust and the terrestrial mantle.There is also some evidence that there were the first human settlements in Galicia.
Grassland oup
It is a large field full of grass and some medium sized trees. The soil is very fertile.
Path to the mining area
Several mines are located in Santa Comba s municipality. This is one of the reasons why the archaelogical value of the area has not been fully studied so far.
Watermill
This is a good example of an old watermill that now is not in the middle of the river changed its course
Pine
Pine tree is another common tree in Galicia, although it is a native species on the coast. It favours the growth of other native trees.
Riparian vegetation
common vegetation in the river banks. We can't see the river from here, but we can see the limits of the wetland.
Dam
A dam was built to carry water to a hydroelectric power station, another human impact on nature.
Natural regeneration
we can see natural restoration on the other side of the river, since many young trees have grown naturally. Also, we can see lichens, moss and ivy on trees.
