The section begins at the fork in the path, just before Caranga Baxu, where we take the descending branch to the right that continues parallel to the road for about 400 m to cross the river Trubia.
From here onwards the path runs along the valley of the river Teverga, the river becomes narrower and the limestone walls that surround us get closer and closer until at a certain point we only have the option of crossing the mountain. The tunnels begin, short at first, then a little longer, always illuminated and sometimes with side windows that let in natural light and at the same time serve as viewpoints over the gorge.
We continue along most of the route until, almost 1 km from the end, the gorge ends abruptly to give way to the valley and lead us to Entragu. From here we can optionally continue on to Samartín, just a few kilometres away, and if we dare, we can visit the nearby Collegiate Church of San Pedro, in La Plaza, a beautiful example of Asturian Romanesque architecture. Without a doubt, these are highly recommended visits.
This section of the Senda del Oso can be done independently, but it should be borne in mind that there is no public transport for the return journey, so we should consider doing the same route on the way back, or contact one of the active tourism companies that provide services in the area.
Both the approach and the return must be planned.
