Hayedo de Tejera Negra, Protected beech forest in Guadalajara Province, Spain.
The forest spans 400 hectares at the junction of Lillas and Zarzas rivers, featuring dense beech trees alongside yews, hollies, and birches.
Designated as a natural site of national interest in 1974, the area received Natural Park status in 1978 and expanded its boundaries in 1987.
The forest name derives from a small valley containing dark yew trees, reflecting the traditional Spanish practice of naming locations after natural features.
Visitors need to reserve parking spaces through the official website, with three main trails starting from the Interpretation Center.
The forest represents one of the southernmost beech formations in Europe, thriving in conditions established after the last glaciation 7,000 years ago.
Location: Guadalajara Province
Part of: Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe
