Cavity located in the vicinity of de la Peña de Orobe de Alsasua, in Navarra, accessed by a timber track from the abandoned quarry near the Altzania river.

Caratteristiche

Località

Cavity located in the vicinity of de la Peña de Orobe de Alsasua (Navarra). After 4 km from Alsasua, an abandoned quarry is seen on the left. To reach it, it is necessary to cross the Altzania river over a bridge and take a local road leading to Olazagutia. The railway passes very close to the quarry. Another possible access route is by taking this local road from Olazagutia. After barely 200 metres south of the quarry and taking the track towards Olazagutía, on the right there is a path towards the W leading to the summit of the mountain.

Descrizione

Idrologia

Up to an elevation of 760 metres, a blind valley has drained through two sinkholes: Orobe 5, located in the lower part, and Orobe 7 at its head.

Progressione

It is rather a timber track, which climbs a very steep slope in one go. Once almost 120 metres of elevation gain have been overcome at the contact of the sandstone we have climbed with the Cretaceous limestone bar, a trail starts towards the Norte that more or less follows the contour line and that after passing the caves of Orobe 1 and 4. From this point the hollow ending at this last pit must be ascended, passing an aska, until reaching an elevation of 760 metres. The latter is located barely 100 metres W of the Orobe 5 cavity, which is logically the first cavity found on the ascent path.
