Located on the southern slope of the Sierra -de -Guadarram, Cercedilla is one of the municipalities that are part of the Domonym National Park. Its location in the framework of the protected space is due to the evolution of people, both in relation to economic activity and the model of visits. The natural environment surrounding the municipality includes pine forests, half of the mountains and historical roads, which were included as these routes.
A consolidated urban structure with heritage elements and tourist equipment was added to this proposal related to the environment, which allows you to regulate a visit in the high season. The influx of people in the summer months is focused on several points, including an entertaining pasture zone.
There are resources such as the center of visitors to the Fuenfrey Valley, access to various designated routes and the natural Berceas basins that work seasonally. The public use of this space is subject to specific rules that regulate the potential, access form and constancy conditions, in order to avoid environmental deterioration in an environment that represents high environmental sensitivity.
In addition to the natural component, Cercedilla supports a network of roads and cultural elements that retain evidence from different eras. The location of the old Roman road, the remnants of religious architecture and a small museum installation, focused on winter sports, are part of a set of available resources.

Routes marked in Cercedilla to make a trip to the National Park

There are several ways that begin with the center of environmental education, each of which has various characteristics and difficulties for adapting to various audiences. The highest street, marked with red circles, has a length of 12.5 kilometers and is approximately long for four hours. This route with a high level of diplomas includes sections on a forest track called “Camps”, which cross the prairies historically used for youth camps.
The Puriselli road, identified with blue circles, is a shorter and more simple, 4 kilometers and a duration of about an hour and a half. With low complexity, connect the center of environmental education with the Cercedilla railway station. The name refers to the company that built the road between Madrid and Segovia. The road descends from 1287 meters of height to 1155 meters and is suitable for stilts of all levels.
Finally, the water road marked with blue circles covers 5.7 kilometers and can pass for about two hours. It also connects the center of environmental education with the station with a maximum height of 1300 meters and at least 1150 meters. This route gets its name for structures designed to collect and distribute water, which can be observed along the way. The difficulty is low, ideal for those who are looking for a quiet walk in a natural environment.
