Pozos de Valcaba, Artificial water bodies in Liérganes, Spain.
Two water-filled reservoirs, formed from former mining sites, span across 3 hectares amid the green landscapes of northern Spain.
The mining operations in the Peña Cabarga massif during the 20th century created these water bodies, with the larger southern pool dating back to the 1940s.
The pools stand as monuments to the region's industrial heritage, featuring remnants of mining structures and a stone bridge from the old railway line.
A marked circular trail of 2,800 meters follows the former mining railway path, providing access to both pools through white and yellow painted signs.
The Foundation for Nature and Humans installed bird houses throughout the area, creating nesting sites for sand martins and white storks.
