Proaza natural viewpoint
Km 14Proaza
A wider stretch of the trail just before entering Proaza village, with an open view over the river Trubia and the ridge along the trail. Perfect for a short sandwich stop. The natural break most cyclists take.

The Aramo crags
Km 15visible from Proaza and Santo Adriano
Not a point you visit, but a permanent backdrop. From several stretches of the main trunk you can see the silhouette of the Aramo massif on the horizon, with peaks above 1,700 m. In spring and autumn, with lingering snow on top and green below, it is the most repeated postcard of the trail.

Narrow canyon carved by the river Trubia, with nearly vertical limestone walls and several short tunnels in a row. The railway line clings to the rock face. One of the most photographed points on the trail.

Valdecerezales gorge
Km 15Proaza / Santo Adriano
Longer and more dramatic than Peñas Juntas. Vertical walls on both sides, the river squeezed below and the railway route hanging on the wall. The most spectacular industrial landscape on the greenway.

The iron bridges over the Trubia
Km 16several
Several original mining-railway bridges cross the Trubia river and its tributaries. Some are in dressed stone, others in steel truss. The industrial profiles contrast with the riverside forest — another very popular photo spot.
