Description

Context The Senda del Oso is a greenway that repurposes an old railway track between Entrago and Buyera in Asturias. The approximately 14 km route features a continuous, gentle descent that makes pedaling effortless, winding through a natural valley along the Trubia River. The compacted, flat surface and absence of technical challenges allow for relaxed enjoyment of fresh air and the sounds of the river, set within a protected landscape of limestone formations and dense forests. ">The experience You glide along the trail at a leisurely pace, letting the breeze carry the scents of pine and thyme. Along the way, you pause at designated viewpoints to observe the bear enclosure, where bears live in semi-freedom within their natural habitat. The descent typically takes between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, with recreational areas available for rest and refreshment. At the end, a minibus transport returns you comfortably to the starting point, completing the journey with ease. ">For whom This activity is suitable for families with children from age 7, individuals with no prior mountain biking experience, and groups seeking a light, outdoor physical activity. It is not recommended for people with limited mobility or those seeking challenging, technical trails. ">Local context The municipalities of Teverga and Proaza preserve the rural traditions of Asturias, maintaining natural spaces and fostering community values centered on environmental conservation. The bear enclosure is part of a local conservation initiative that adds educational and ecological value to the experience.
