Iturburua - Bertiz

START: Bertiz Natural Park, Rural Tourism Office and Reception Area. Information panel. After a short flat section along a wide path, you reach a charcoal pit. Leave the main path (for the return) and ascend to the left along a steep trail crossing an area of logging and reforestation with native trees. After passing an old chestnut grove, the trail levels out halfway up the hillside, through beech and oak forests, to a fork (p.k. 2.950): descend to the right, passing the Iturburua spring and crossing the stream. Return along the wide path to the start of the route. From there you can extend the walk to the medieval Erreparazea bridge (1.4 km round trip) over the Bidasoa river.

ATTENTION: on days of strong winds, the trail may be closed due to the risk of falling trees or branches.

SIGNAGE: Trail marked with metal plates indicating direction and distance; there are no paint markings or directional posts. At the park entrance, a general panel with the location of the trails, and several interpretive panels along the trail.

The Bertiz Lordship Natural Park and Baztan-Bidasoa have a network of marked trails. More information: https://www.parquedebertiz.es/informacion-es/equipamientos/senderos-es.htm and, planned (2026): www.baztan-bidasoa.com and https://urarenbailarak.eus
