Landscape
Arnado en la ruta del Arroyo del Rebolo
The Bierzo district is situated in
the northwest of the province
of Leon. The most characteristic of the terrain is its shape,
like a bowl surrounded by
mountains with peaks of up to
2.000 metres. Good territory for
bird-watching especially by
the Rebolo stream, in the Sierra
de los Ancares or the stunning
landscape of Las Médulas. The
route to the largest wetlands in
the district, the Carucedo lake,
takes you past some impressive
chestnuts groves and you go
through a rich riverside and
lake ecosystem, where you
can see birds typical of these
environments.
