Las Chorreras
One of the most representative resources of the Sierra de Valdepeñas is the abundance of water. Being the protagonistof “Las Chorreras”, it stands out in this space for descending with bravura, resting in small pools and falling by beautifulwaterfalls;the largest of them about 20 meters high.
“Las Chorreras” runs along a very steep natural ravine where the erosion of the river on the limestone pierces the rock, creating the path that allows us to run through it. In the place there is a small recreational area, suitable for a pleasant picnic, with barbecues and tables, ideal for summer days.
Sierra de la Pandera
Valdepeñas de Jaén is located in a quite mountainous region where high peaks such as Ventisqueros (1763m), Cerro de la Cruz (1722m) or Pandera (1872m) stand out.
The latter is considered the roof of the Sierra Sur de Jaén, with its 1872 meters high. It offers spectacular views of the Quiebrajano, Jaén capital, Mágina, Cazorla and even Sierra Nevada.
For hiking enthusiasts, the trail that
starts from the Puerto de las Coberteras, passing through the Puerto de la Nava and the Peña del Altar to the top of the Pandera, is one of the most beautiful of the Sierra Sur.
Mirador de Navalayegua y el “Quejigo del Carbón”
It is a strategic natural viewpoint, located at 1,500 meters of altitude, from which you can obtain magnificent views of the Quiebrajano reservoir and the Sierra Sur.
In its surroundings, a well-preserved typical Mediterranean forest, we find the “Quejigo del Carbón”, a thousand-year-old gall oak declared a Natural Monument.
Pitillos
Declarado Monumento Natural “Pitillos”, se trata de un relieve accidentado en torno a un pequeño valle -el del río Quiebrajano- rodeado por tres elevaciones superiores a los 1.200 metros. Destaca la presencia de angostos cañones, de hasta 30 metros de altura, en el cauce del río Quiebrajano.
