It is a mountain peak located in the vicinity of the Valencian municipality of Villargordo del Cabriel, in the enclave of the Hoces del Cabriel Natural Park, a privileged natural environment that serves as a border with the neighboring region of Castilla – La Mancha. This peak has an altitude of around 1040 m and from its summit it is possible to obtain privileged views of the Sierra del Rubial to which this rocky promontory belongs. The panoramic view offered from this point allows you to see all the towns in the Requena-Utiel region in which this Natural Park is included. Likewise, from the Moluengo peak it is possible to see the depression of the Cabriel River and the neighboring plains of Cuenca. It is possible to go up to the Moluengo peak and cross the privileged natural environment that surrounds it thanks to one of the routes that cross the Hoces del Cabriel Natural Park, known as the yellow route, which starts from the town of Villargordo del Cabriel and leads the traveler to the top of Moluengo. Along this itinerary, which has an extension of 16 km, it is possible to visit places such as the town of Moluengo, the Fonseca viewpoint, the Oliva fountain or the Vadocañas bridge, over the waters of the Cabriel river and which constitutes the point at which the route ends.

If you go around the Fuente de Oliva counterclockwise (which I recommend), this is the second viewpoint and the first where you can see the Rio Cabriel in the gorges below beautiful cliffs. Continue to the right of the first bench along the cliff, and you will find a second bench and more beautiful views.
