Explore The Wild, Above The Top of The Pyrenees Mountain

From snow-capped Pyrenees mountain peaks in Spain, the Nogera-Ribagorsana river flows, which during its existence washed away a deep ravine in the Sierra del Montsec. Thus the natural boundary between Aragon and Catalonia is formed. In the mid-20th century, the Spaniards thought that it was impossible to drain water from the mountain irresponsibly, and decided to take electricity from it, for which several hydroelectric power plants were built. Thanks to the dam, the water level in the river rose, and the Mont Rebey canyon formed by the Nogera-Ribagorsana river became increasingly indescribable.

Soon, the Spaniards thought that the beauty could not hide from subjects, and came in large numbers, so that on a steep wall high ravines cut through the road, built bridges and built a crazy ladder. Now in the Mont Rebay gorge aspire to hundreds of thousands of tourists a year, because those in the peak months must limit their attendance.

In places like that you have to go at a time when there are no restrictions, because there is no large flow of tourists. We were here in early May, when walking along the ravine, you can easily say "Hello!" And smile at everyone who, like you, decides to take a walk here.

Morning comes. The air was cold, and all night the rain pounded on the tent. For breakfast, like for dinner, we were only satisfied with ham and wine, because the Spanish gas cylinder didn't come to our stove. It needs to start. Even though I didn't feel that way, however, it was misty, wet and cold to the sea. In the parking lot at the beginning of the track, we imprisoned the buters with hamons, looked into the gray gorge, where nothing was seen at all, and went ahead. There is no place to go anywhere.

Soon, the fog began to lose its density and break away from the earth, thanks to which, we opened the view of the Mont Rebey gorge.

To say that we are happy with this species is like not saying anything. We even warm up, see the beauty of the surroundings. And no wonder, because we climbed rocks, and the mist disappeared, which is a source of cold and moisture :)

Water color keeps changing. It all depends on the angle where you see the reservoir, the color of the sky, the wind and other factors.

image
Most of it crosses the waters on board, and kayaking and White Sea lovers can rent kayaks for a leisurely stroll along the ravine.
image
Today we walk, and we go where the boat rushes.

image
Our current trip is around 10 kilometers in one direction, and then along the same road you have to go back. On the road there will be dense forest and mountain paths and rocks and stinging sun.

Once there is life, there are signs of former civilization in the form of facades of old houses supported by sticks.

As can be seen in the photo above, our footprint, like most tourist routes in Spain, is marked by special markers, similar to the Polish flag.

Going to trekking certainly needs water, lots of water. One liter per person, of course, is not enough. There is almost no source of drinking water on the route. We only met one stream at one stop.

image
In the gorge, in addition to tracking and kayak, for tourists to build ferrata and climbing routes. If you are interested in rock climbing, see how Chris Sharma climbs a multi-pitch.

image
Beginning through the sun. River plays with new colors.

image
In front of us is the narrowest part of the abyss.

image
And then, if you look closer, the snow hat from the Pyrenees looks on the horizon.

image

The road is farther away, and you can go through all the lines of the Sierra del Montsec. But we want to fall to Aragon, and he is across the river.

image
To move to the other side, use a bridge that resembles the Golden Gate in San Francisco.

image
If the Catalan coast can safely walk along the road, then the trail of Aragon is almost non-existent. Here we are forced to move directly through the steep walls of the canyon. Fortunately, the Spanish people who care about building a comfortable bridge here.
image
In general, it's scary to walk like this above the abyss.

image

Stairway to the sky.

image
Many tourists, seeing this, from sin away and back, because not only is it terrible because of the height, so you are still tired, you can walk on the stairs. Well, and not everyone goes according to size.

image
We, even though some participants want to join, achieve their goals. We reach the mountain refuge, where we bite, and come back.

image
By the night we were in camp, the neighbors borrowed gas stoves, so dinner was not only wine with jamon, but also pasta with tea. Life starts to improve.
