Is it known how it is possible that, being a protected area, Guadarrama has a private reserve and for a short time? Who owns it? With cameras...with guards...! Are we in Venezuela? " "Who puts fences in the countryside 🌼"

Although the Komoot map shows that you can pass through here, the truth is that a couple of years ago they fenced off this part of the mountain with signs prohibiting entry.

A curious place in the middle section of the Guadarrama River as it passes through the Molino de la Hoz near Las Rozas. Unfortunately, it used to be possible to cross here to get to the other side of the river, but now it is all fenced off with signs prohibiting entry. Even so, it is worth reaching this place.
