ROUTE 1 WAYPOINT 16

 Waypoint 16: Panoramic view Map route 1

From this waypoint and during the route we can exploit that we are in the most elevated zone to take a panoramic view of our surroundings. At this moment, chalky stone is mostly camouflaged due to tertiary sediments that are on top of it and partially eroded the chalky rocks and the dolomites we have been watching until now.

On the one hand, southeastly we have the "Alto de Fuentemilanos", the setting of "Peñatraviesa" and the "Umbría de las duernas". In the distance, we have a sea of pines that it extends dozens of kilometres up to Avila and Valladolid. These forests are really typical of Segovia. During clear days we can even see the highlands of Ayllon, Guadarrama and Gredos. The surrounding mountains that border the south area of north subplateau, this is because we are currently in a quite high zone surrounded by a series of creases by the alpine orogeny that create the Pradales highland and the Sepulveda one were we currently are.

Nevertheless, we are at the foothill of the Pradales highland, associated to faults that provoque the outcrop of Mesozoic rocks (chalky and dolomite rocks) which generates a prominence completely different.

To the southwest we see the dolomites of the La Hoz cannon.

In both cases, to the south we find Carrascal village.
