Ocejón, Mountain summit in Guadalajara province, Spain.
Ocejón is a summit in the Sierra del Ocejón that rises to 2,046 meters above sea level as part of the Sistema Central mountain range in Spain. The surrounding landscape features steep slopes combined with forests and open areas at different elevations.
The peak has served local inhabitants for centuries as a natural landmark and navigation point across the Guadalajara landscape. Its distinctive shape made it an essential reference for finding direction in this mountainous region.
Nearby villages are built with dark slate extracted from local quarries, which shapes how the communities have developed around these slopes. This building material defines the character of settlements throughout the region.
Hikers can reach the summit through two main routes starting from the villages of Majaelrayo or Valverde de los Arroyos. Weather conditions and snow in the higher elevations can affect trail conditions at different times of the year.
The northern slopes display a variety of plant species adapted to different altitude zones, ranging from valley floors to the mountain peak. This ecological layering lets visitors experience multiple vegetation zones during a single hike.
