Serra da Enciña da Lastra Natural Park

The Serra da Enciña da Lastra Natural Park spans 3,151 hectares of limestone terrain, featuring deep valleys, steep cliffs, and the river Sil flowing through its eastern edge.

The Romans extracted gold from the Sil River within this area, leaving behind archaeological evidence of their mining operations that continued until the late 20th century.

The park contains extensive networks of hiking trails, including the Ruta Valle del Sil and Ruta de la Vía Romana, which connect visitors to both natural landscapes and regional heritage.

The visitor center in Biobra provides information about seventeen marked trails of varying difficulties, along with details about local flora, fauna, and geological formations.

This protected area houses the largest oak forest in Galicia and supports 450 plant species, including 25 types of orchids and 40 plants found only in the Iberian Peninsula.
