GR-289 – The steps of the bear (97,1km – Demanding – 33:25´)

Bears have been wandering our mountains and forests for a long time, as the remains found in the caves of Arrikrutz and Lezetxiki tell us. The last bear in the valley was killed in 1867 in the village of Antzuola, and many of our houses and place names have the bear's step. This road is an opportunity to discover the waterways trampled underfoot by these bears, combining nature, heritage and history, linking past and present, as our ancestors used to do: walk. You are invited to meet the Alto Deba in five stages. Further information
