Midway between Hervás and Baños, the Ambrose Forest hiking trail can be picked up from the road. This is a long hike (roughly 35 km/22 miles) and above average in difficulty, leading from the hermitage of La Garganta to Segura de Toro. The hike, according to a faded tourist brochure, passes by “ancient oak trees and towering pines, around natural swimming holes and over Roman bridges with great views of the snow-capped peaks and the Ambrose valley below.” Due to its elevation and its length, it is best to check with the tourist office in Hervás for current conditions and a detailed map of the trail (I was advised against it in the winter).
