The pass is now paved and can be driven on by car.

During the mining era, this pass served as a discreet link between mines on either side, and minimal traces of old cart and mule traffic remain, though they don't coincide with the current road. From above, the wind is almost constant, and the view towards the Saliencia lakes has that air of a "natural viewpoint" before the term even existed. It's perfect to mark on Komoot as a key point on your route due to its spaciousness, its somewhat hidden history, and its character as a natural border.

A glacial lake nestled between limestone walls, with a little-known detail: beneath the surrounding meadow, remnants of the old road used to transport materials for the region's former water network are still visible—a nearly erased trace that lends the place a dual character, both natural and industrious. The lake changes dramatically with the light: on cloudy days it appears opaque and heavy, but in sunlight it displays an intense green that reveals its depth and rocky bottom. It's a good spot to pause and appreciate the contrast between the wild landscape and the barely visible but still present vestiges of human activity.

This path through the oak grove seems like something out of a fairy tale. Each season offers the walker a different color experience and sensation.

The Hermitage of the Virgin of Manadero is a rock sanctuary located in Piedrasecha, León. It is located in the Cueva de las Palomas, a place of great natural and spiritual beauty. The hermitage is dedicated to the Virgin of Manadero and is a point of interest on the Desfiladero de los Calderones route.

Popular place for hiking, especially near the waterfall of the Calderones stream. The cabin offers a picturesque view of what was once an old cattle village, now in ruins, with only one building standing.
