Laguna Negra and Circos Glaciares de Urbión Natural Park, Natural park with glacial lakes in Soria Province, Spain

The park spans 4,617 hectares across three municipalities, featuring dark waters of Laguna Negra surrounded by steep cliffs and dense pine forests.

During the Quaternary glacial period, ice masses shaped the landscape, creating cirques, valleys, and lakes that define the current geological characteristics.

The Laguna Negra gained literary recognition through Antonio Machado's 1912 narrative 'Los hijos de Alvargonzalez', which narrates events near the lake.

Visitors can reach the park through marked paths from Covaleda, Duruelo de la Sierra, and Vinuesa, with optimal visiting conditions from spring through autumn.

The park contains the source of Duero River at Urbión Peak, reaching 2,228 meters in elevation and supporting endemic mountain flora species.
