Located in an area of 133 square kilometres, the municipality of Sober is privileged of being set within a spectacular natural environment. The Sil Canyon is its most prominent landmark, forming the southern municipal and provincial boundary, while the River Cabe, which is equally impressive, defines the western limit.
Its natural areas are part of the Natura 2000 network and are designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), due to their rich biodiversity and great potential for habitat restoration.
Undoubtedly, it is an unforgettable experience to explore trails where Mediterranean species such as cork oaks and arbutus, commonly known as strawberry trees, blend with native species including oaks, chestnut trees, heather and gorse.
If you are lucky, you may spot hidden among these forests some grey herons, storks, falcons, bats and owls, as well as wild boar, deer, common genets, wildcats, fox, squirrels among others.
Sober is a land of forests, rivers and natural areas and hideaways where flora, fauna and local communities coexist in harmony.
We all share the responsibility of ensuring this balance is preserved, by contributing to the conservation and protection of this unique environment.
While almost any track or forest path can become a hiking route, you can find below the most popular established routes for you to explore.
