El Yelmo Summit (1,808 m)

Highlight • Summit

Summit located in the province of Jaén, in the municipality of Segura de la Sierra. Its somewhat steep slopes are covered by dense vegetation, which is lost as the top is crowned.
Currently, the summit can be accessed by car through a paved track, making this enclave a very popular point for paragliders.

C.F. El Campillo Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This shelter is located at the southeast base of El Yelmo. The old house where the forest ranger lived is in ruins, but there is an auxiliary building where you can spend the night.

The closest water point to the refuge is the Avellanar spring. To find it, take the road in the direction of Segura de la Sierra and after 600 meters you will find a signposted path that opens to the left. The source is about 300 meters.
