El Mofusu

From Pola de Lena, the Vuelta por el Mofusu enters a landscape of forests, traditional paths, and green hillsides, discovering one of the most complete routes in the immediate surroundings of the council’s capital. A circular, fresh, and mountainous route, ideal for enjoying the most natural side of Lena.

The El Mofusu Route (PR-AS 84) is one of the most interesting proposals for discovering the green landscape that surrounds the town. With an approximate distance of 10 kilometers and an estimated duration of 3 hours and 15 minutes, this mid-mountain trail features a positive and negative elevation gain of about 585 meters, which gives it a medium difficulty.

The starting point in Pola de Lena is very convenient for those looking to do a route without straying too far from the urban center. The transition between the town and the mountain is quick, allowing hikers to move in a short time from the center of the council to a fully mountainous environment.

As you gain altitude, the views over the valley become wider, allowing you to understand the strategic location of Pola de Lena among mountains. The landscape opens up to show a dynamic contrast between the inhabited areas, the meadows, and the mountain ridges that guard the council.

One of the greatest attractions of the itinerary is passing through its wooded areas. Monte Mofusu offers a fresh and secluded atmosphere, creating a sense of natural shelter that makes the journey especially pleasant, even on hot days. The presence of streams and damp corners reinforces the authentic and natural character of the path.

Although it is not a technical route, its profile requires a constant physical effort. With an altitude ranging between 310 and 835 meters, the accumulated elevation gain ensures a satisfying experience for those looking for a good level of demand without entering high mountain routes. The use of appropriate footwear is recommended, especially if the ground is damp due to the lushness of the forest.

Being a circular route, the return allows you to complete the experience without repeating the outward path, which guarantees variety and a complete perspective of the terrain. It is a perfect route for hikers looking for a balanced, entertaining, and deeply territory-linked half-day walk.

Altogether, the Vuelta por el Mofusu is the ideal choice to get to know the closest and most natural Lena. It is a proposal that combines history, forest landscape, and panoramic views, ideal for those who wish to enjoy a mountain day with its own personality just a step away from the council’s capital.
