In the river through a short, but impressive, canyon with 2 to 3 optional rappels.

Access: machine translated ➜

From Huesca on the A-132 about 72 km in the direction of Pamplona. After reaching the N-240 coming from Jaca, turn north at Puente la Reina into the Hecho Valley. 24 km further on you come to Hecho. Continuing northward, after another 8.2 km, passing Siresa, we reach the old forestry house, today "centro de interpretación del megalitismo". Here we park our car. A conversion is possible, but makes no sense.

Approach (20 min): machine translated ➜

We continue along the tarred road and up into the Feswand above the canyon. After about 400m (from the forester's lodge) the road gets close to the river and we follow the clear spren leading down to the riverbed.

Tour (1 h 30): machine translated ➜

First walk and wade in the river bed, then the impressive narrowing with several river crossings. At the rock wall on the left, to avoid the waterfall, go up to the clamping block, from which you can jump. A narrow passage, which is unpleasant when there is a lot of water, can be avoided on the left. At the following wide waterfall (2nd rappel on the left edge) and much water remains - for the first - only the jump into the spray, but before emergency exit possible. If the first one is down, a self-rope can be set up for the others (2x30m ropes necessary). Then swim out to the canyon exit.

Return (7 min): machine translated ➜

At the canyon exit, turn right and follow the clear tracks through the pine forest to the forester's lodge. At the fountain the neos can be washed out
