Tips from the Community
La ruta de la Via Verda del Serpis es troba en un preciós congost d'este riu als peus de la Serra de la Safor. És un recorregut senzill i interessant, esguitat de ponts, rescloses, túnels i antigues construccions ferroviàries, però en alguns trams s'ha convertit en una pedrera. També es coneix per ser el traçat de l'antic Tren dels Anglesos.

Section of Greenway with many stones and stones that goes from the descent of Assagador de la Cova and Coll de Martinent to Lorcha. In this section we find a not very long tunnel.

Once we arrive at Collado de Martinent or Cassettes de Moll, this demanding descent begins towards the area of the Serpis Greenway. The descent is divided into two sectors, the first is a wide path but in some areas quite broken, full of loose stones without any route and ruts. It can be done assembled but with a lot of caution and according to the technical level of each one. The second part begins when the wide path becomes a narrow path. Here, on the other hand, you find fewer stones and the path has more flow, although we always find some more complicated points. It is about 3km of descent that I do not recommend doing with gravel.

Natural pass in the Serra de Benicadell that connects Salem with Beniarres. It could also be done by road, through the Coll del Raconet or also called Puerto de Salem. The views of Pico Benicadell from this point are extraordinary.
