Mixed forest of Rabanal de Arriba

General information

Place

Under the protection of Cueto Nidio, a track leads from the village of Rabanal de Arriba to the Braña del Cubajo. From it is possible to see a large mixed forest that occupies the steep slopes of this spectacular place of Laciana. Among the birches, oaks, rowans and many other tree species, several forest birds find shelter, as the Eurasian jay, the goldcrest or marsh tit. The capercaillie still has in these mountains one of its last refuges.
Linked to meadows around the “braña”, it is possible to observe other birds that prefer open environments, such as whinchat, white wagtail or rock bunting.
