The trail continues from here, but if you are mountain biking this might be a good place to return. The view of this gigantic wall is one of the main sites of the Júcar Canyon. It is almost 200 meters high and deserves a photo or two.

Next to the building of the old power station, you find the river behind a tunnel of vegetation made by reeds and brambles. In this area there is little flow and you can cross it to continue the walk on the other side. However, it is possible that the water reaches your waist, put some booties in your backpack and enjoy the experience. Especially in summer, it is appreciated to cool off in the river.
