DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION
A single wooden cross that crowns the Collado de Víznar gives its name to this path that is of great interest to lovers of flora and fauna but also for all those who enjoy splendid panoramic views of the Vega de Granada and Sierra Nevada. From here, we can discover the transition from the mountainous areas to the flat areas of the Granada depression.
Each municipality crowns its highest peak with a cross, to mark the peaks of its towns. Thus, from the Víznar hill, we can see those of Alfacar and Huétor Santillán (near the Maúllo hill), and, in the distance, that of Beas de Granada.
Practically the entire route allows us to enjoy views of the rugged landscape of these mountains, mainly repopulated with pine trees, and in which nowadays the natural vegetation is recovering in the Mediterranean mountain with holm oaks, Valencian oaks and the shrubs so characteristic of these areas.
