Natural Treasures and Unforgettable Encounters
Nature in its purest form
From the high peaks to the valleys
Redes treasures a rugged profile, magnificent peaks, magical forests, endless meadows; and water, always present, backbone of the Park, protagonist and narrator of the history of these lands and their people.
From the source of the Nalón River at the Nalona spring, in the Puerto de Tarna, the scene of important historical moments, to the refuge of its high peaks, passing through the villages, irrigating their meadows and deciding on them, plaguing them with hydraulic devices; to the point of being used as a reservoir, for the supply of the central area of Asturias and electricity production. Nothing in this Natural Park escapes the dominion of water. The Park stands out for its forests, which occupy almost 45% of the territory, with the beech tree as protagonist in extension and beauty; and, of course, the oaks, accompanied by hazelnut and chestnut trees, dominant in the lower areas of the slopes. Scrublands, heathlands? and to complete the picture, meadows.
