Descent of the River Madera - River Segura

Time: Four hours.

This four-hour walking tour promises a pleasant, relaxed, and peaceful experience. Starting from Navalcaballo, you will descend through scenic landscapes, encounter diverse flora and fauna, and enjoy the serene ambiance along the banks of the River Madera as it joins the River Segura.

Starting Point: Navalcaballo

The journey begins just opposite Navalcaballo’s house, where a fountain marks the starting point. A lane descending by the hill, gentle at first but becoming steeper, leads us towards the Montesino nursery breeding ground, now a youth camp. This path offers an initial glimpse into the diverse ecosystems you will explore.

River Madera Descent

As we continue, we encounter the River Madera and begin our descent along its right bank. The path first takes us past an elm grove, followed by a pine grove where the Los Negros campsite is located. This segment of the hike is characterized by its peaceful surroundings and the sound of flowing water, making it an ideal place to unwind and connect with nature.

Proceeding along the right bank, we reach the "Río Madera" youth camp. Along this stretch, several brooks flow into the river, creating picturesque scenes, especially one that descends quickly through a vertical wall into the left bank. These natural features highlight the rugged beauty of the area and provide excellent spots for rest and contemplation.

Confluence with the River Segura

Continuing the descent, the forest gradually thins, giving way to willows and poplars. This part of the river is frequented by deer and other mammals coming to drink, offering hikers a chance to observe wildlife in their natural habitat.

Eventually, we reach the confluence where the River Madera meets the River Segura. Here, the Segura is still shallow but already swift, marking the end of our journey. The Huelga Utrera forest house is located in this area, providing a perfect place to rest and reflect on the hike.

The descent of the River Madera to the River Segura offers a blend of tranquility and natural beauty, making it a memorable adventure for hikers. This route in Jaén's Sierra de Segura is perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy a peaceful walk through diverse landscapes.
