Selva de Oza, Ancient forest in Hecho Valley, Spain.

The Selva de Oza forest extends across the western Aragonese Pyrenees, featuring dense vegetation surrounded by peaks reaching heights between 2,300 and 2,700 meters.

Three dolmens within the forest and remnants of a Roman road from Emperor Antoninus Pius time indicate human presence dating back to ancient civilizations.

The Roman path through the forest later transformed into a pilgrimage route for travelers journeying towards Santiago de Compostela in medieval times.

The forest contains marked hiking trails, parking areas, and information panels that guide visitors through different sections of the natural reserve.

The forest houses bears, polecats, chamois, deer, wild boars, badgers, martens, foxes, squirrels, and otters, while eagles and vultures soar above.
