LOCATION: On the border of the Principality of Asturias,
municipalities of A Fonsagrada, A Pontenova and Ribeira de Piquín.
SURFACE AREA: 4,828 hectares. Two large forests
cover small tributaries of the Eo on its right bank. The hillsides
are covered with fragas, which are nice to watch but difficult to
access. We recommend visiting the ferrerfa (blacksmith's workshop)
of Bogo, where a forge and a mallet from the 18th century have been
restored and are fully operational. This is a token of an activity
which, until recently, was essential in this region of Lugo. It is
on the interesting hiking route known as P.R-G 39 "Fraga das
Reigadas", which runs through narrow paths and pontoons offering
views of a few waterfalls. There are references indicating the sporadic
presence of brown bears. |
