This route begins in La Pereda, where we leave the railway station and take an asphalted road that takes us to the start of the greenway.
After crossing the recreational area of La Pereda, we find a short ramp, after which the whole route is practically flat. We soon enter a magnificent native forest, and the route runs halfway up the slope, allowing us to observe the impressive course of the Caudal river, embedded in the bottom of the valley.
The route crosses several tunnels, all of them illuminated, which cross impressive limestone crests.
Towards the middle of the route we reach the well-preserved village of Lloreo, where the old narrow-gauge railway station houses an Interpretation Classroom that shows the history of the coto hullero and the operation of this line.
We continue on through woods and clearings that allow us to see the river Caudal at the bottom of the valley, until we reach a tunnel where the route ends and we can rest in a small picnic area. We return along the same path.
Along the route there are several points with small rest areas where you can sit down and recharge your batteries.
