From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the estuary, where the river meanders through reeds and dunes before flowing into the sea.

There's shade there. There isn't really a parking lot, but there's room for maybe three cars. There are some spots where the asphalt is a bit unsightly.

This spot, which feeds the Bullent River, is visited by residents of Oliva, visitors from other towns, and even foreign tourists. It is undoubtedly a privileged place worth visiting, especially for its location within the natural park, its proximity to the beach, and its health tourism, as it is an underground source of thermal waters—with a considerable sulfur content—whose waters have traditionally been recognized as beneficial for treating dermatological diseases.

At the mouth of the Río Molinell, which forms the border between Dénia and Oliva, a small bridge spans the river. It connects the coastal paths of both towns and provides cyclists and walkers with a convenient crossing away from the main roads. From here, a wide view opens up of the estuary, where the river winds its way through reed beds and dunes to the sea. The confluence of fresh and salt water is particularly impressive, creating a diverse landscape with a rich birdlife. For cyclists, the bridge provides a convenient crossing point for continuing their tour between Dénia and Oliva or for taking a short break.

Beautiful, but a bit more challenging than indicated. Some trails are overgrown, and the descent at the end is not for those with a fear of heights.

An approximately 1 km long area within the Sierra Segaria, which contains various caves - the Cova Fosca is of course the largest, most famous, and most spectacular!

The aqueduct path is somewhat dangerous at this point. One side of the aqueduct has already collapsed, and the drop is quite steep, about 20-30 meters. Perhaps you should take a wide detour around this area?

It's generally recommended to keep dogs on a leash to protect local wildlife and ensure a pleasant experience for all hikers.

The best time for families to go hiking in Desembocadura Del Riu Racons is typically during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). The weather is milder and more comfortable for outdoor activities, and the natural landscapes are vibrant. Summer can be very hot, so early mornings or late afternoons are preferable if hiking during that season.
While some routes like the Stone Picnic Area – View from the Serra de Segària loop offer views of the Sierra de Segària, these can be more challenging. For families, we recommend focusing on the easier, flatter routes closer to the river and coast, which still provide beautiful vistas without significant elevation changes.
Parking is generally available at various access points to the trails, especially near popular starting points for routes along the river mouth and the Marjal de Pego-Oliva. Specific parking details are often provided on individual route pages on komoot, so it's best to check the tour details for your chosen hike.
While public transport options might be limited directly to all trailheads, the region is accessible via public transport to nearby towns like Oliva and Pego. From these towns, you might need to arrange local transport or walk a bit further to reach specific starting points for the family-friendly trails. Checking local bus schedules for routes connecting to the natural park areas is advisable.
