WHAT WILL YOU DO?

La Plata Greenway follows the route of an old railway track that starts in Salamanca through amazing landscapes of the Sierra de Béjar and ends in Plasencia, passing through the beautiful Ambroz Valley.
Although the visit is at your own pace, we propose you a beautiful route in which you will start from Hervás passing through pastures, olive groves, meadows and crops. You will come across one of the great works of this old railroad: the well-known “Puente de Hierro” (Iron Bridge). With the retina full of images, you will continue between country houses until you reach the pasture area. The ascent continues, now with a little more slope until Baños de Montemayor. Its spa, declared of Cultural Interest and with the remains of the ancient Roman baths and the interpretation centre of the Vía de la Plata are two good excuses to stop in this town. The route continues after crossing the road to La Garganta through an area of deciduous forest that covers the foothills of the Sierra de Béjar. Hazelnut, maple, chestnut and oak trees give a very special chromatism.
You will be able to cycle at your own pace and stop at the places that interest you most before returning to the starting point in Hervás. Dare and enjoy magical landscapes alone, with friends or with your family.
