Ahantziga

Ahantziga reaches an elevation of 582 meters and functions as a watershed divide between the Saison and Aucet river basins in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department.

The mountain's name originates from the Basque word 'ahan', meaning blackthorn, combined with the suffix '-tze-aga', forming a connection to regional linguistic heritage.

Local residents participate in seasonal events near the mountain, including traditional Basque games and Kurdish cultural performances at the Château de Libarrenx.

Hikers can access the summit through Gotein by following the route to 'cité des écrevisses' before continuing on marked trails toward the peak.

The mountain sits at the intersection of three valleys - Saison, Aucet, and Basagaitz - creating distinct ecological zones within its surrounding territory.
