Encinar de Camparañón, Oak forest in Golmayo, Spain
Encinar de Camparañón is an oak forest in Soria province featuring mature trees spread across a large area. The woodland sits south of Alto del Tormo and consists mainly of native oak species arranged in natural forest patterns.
Late 19th century documents describe the area as a sparsely populated oak woodland owned by various local residents. The region maintained its forest character through generations to the present day.
Six circular arranged oak trees within the forest hold special recognition in the Notable Trees Catalog of Soria province.
The forest is directly accessible for visitors wanting to explore the natural oak landscape. Sturdy footwear is recommended and visitors should stay on forest paths when walking through the area.
Some select trees have been protected since 2006 because of their exceptional characteristics. Notably, six oaks arranged in a circular pattern appear in the province's catalog of remarkable trees and stand out distinctly from other specimens.
