WORKSHEET PROFILE DESCRIPTION Distance (km) Height (m) The highest point of this route is the summit of Mount Soila, a privileged spot due to its spectacular views. Departing from Antoñana and after cycling several kilometres along the Vía Verde cycle track, we leave it to head for Bufanda and then, Korres, where we can admire its medieval old quarter. From this point, the route becomes more demanding, with a tough climb up to Mt. Soila and then a very technical descent to Antoñana. We set off from the Antoñana Information Point [km 0], beside the road. We head towards Bujanda for about 400 metres on a narrow road, until we come to the former Basque-Navarrese railway line, where we cross a small stone bridge to join this cycle track. We continue along a wide yellow track until we come to the Berrón River. Without crossing the bridge, we leave the Cycle Track and take a path on the right. We then head uphill until we reach a crossroads, where we turn right and carry on to the small village of Bujanda [km 3,72]. We pass through the village and then head downhill towards the road. We cross the road with care and follow the country lane just ahead of us. This lane becomes narrower further on and leads us directly along a pretty but technical stretch through the canyon to Korres [km 7,56]. By-passing the centre of the village, we follow a good track on the right which climbs around Mt. Soila. Halfway up the mountain, we leave this track that would lead us to the summit, to ascend a very steep and technical route. We pass through a scenic wooded area and a small, rocky stretch marks the end of the ascent. We now start a narrow and rapid descent to Antoñana [km 11,62]. Take care here, as it is easy to lose control of the bike going downhill. About a kilometre before reaching Antoñana, we emerge from the forest and see the end of the route in the distance. We come to the road via a good track and proceed along this road for the last few metres with caution.
