Lago de La Baña

The natural monument spans 731 hectares at an elevation of 1,380 meters, surrounded by peaks reaching over 2,000 meters in the Sierra de la Cabrera mountains.

The protected area received official recognition as a Natural Monument in 1990, falling under the management of the Junta de Castilla y León administration.

The surrounding region maintains traditional mountain architecture typical of the Comarca de La Cabrera, with stone buildings adapted to the harsh climate conditions.

Access to the lake requires following the N-622 route through the Eria River valley, passing through Castrocontrigo and Truchas before taking local roads.

The lake features a large glacial moraine made of slate slabs, which encloses the water body and forms the source of the Cabrera River.
