Urko, Mountain summit in Basque Country, Spain

The Urko summit reaches an elevation of 795 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and natural trails across its limestone terrain.

The mountain has marked the boundary between the provinces of Gipuzkoa and Biscay since the establishment of territorial divisions in the Basque region.

Local mountaineering clubs organize regular group ascents to Urko, maintaining the Basque tradition of mountain climbing through marked paths.

Hikers can access the summit through multiple trails starting from the nearby towns, with the eastern route offering the most gradual ascent.

The summit provides views of both the Cantabrian Sea and the surrounding peaks of the Basque Mountains, including the neighboring Zengotitagana.
