Description

This path runs along the final section of the Soldón river, from the old Rugando smithy, now a rural tourism establishment, to the village of O Soldón, next to the Sil river. Since the route runs along the bottom of the river valley, we recommend that you walk this route downhill rather than uphill.

The locals are said to have taken the raw minerals from the O Courel mountains down this route to the forges located in the area. Starting at the Rugando Ironworks, head downhill along the left bank of the Soldón river. Soon, you will see the village of Paradapiñol on the other side of the river.

The route crosses some streams such as Regueiro do Barreiro and Regueiro de Rocaboa. Further down, cross the Soldón where the Regueiro de Louredo flows into it, switching to the right bank of the river/ Carry on along this bank until you reach the end of the trail. The route goes past some old, abandoned apiaries and mills.

The descent, which is steep in places, will take you to O Soldón, where the trail ends near the recreational area under the viaduct.
