The only crossing over the river. Suitable spot for a picnic. It's not far to Villalonga from here.

There are several tunnels on the route. 2 to 3 longer ones: you absolutely need light. Otherwise, it's pitch dark.

A beautiful hike through the Hell's Gorge. The actual route along the railway line, and probably the most interesting section between L'Orcha and Mare de Deu (Barranco del Infierno = Hell's Gorge), is unpaved and unpaved, in some parts very gravelly and rough. Five metal bridges are missing, two stone bridges remain, and six tunnels are traversed, all without lighting.

L'Ullal de la Marjal de Gandia is a small but important wetland within the Marjal de Gandia Natural Park. It is a natural marsh lake surrounded by reeds, water channels, and wet meadows, providing a habitat for numerous bird and amphibian species. The flat paths around the Ullal are ideal for exploring by bike. The route leads through a tranquil, unspoiled landscape, past bodies of water, reeds, and flowering riparian plants. The combination of tranquility, birdwatching, and the typical Marjal landscape makes the route a worthwhile excursion for nature lovers and cyclists alike.

On Grabel, it's advisable to keep your tire pressures correct. I recommend over-inflating rather than underinflating. There are some cobblestone areas.

On the CV-675 after Barx and leaving the La Drova development towards Gandía we find a recreational area where we can stop to rest or eat something, there is a fountain where you can refill water for the journey.
