The Walk

A 7 km circular walk around Cóz and Montes

There are several places of interest that hikers can visit, including the Monastery of Santa Maria de Coz. The monastery was considered by many historians to be one of the richest female Cistercian monasteries. In this place, the first religious community dates back to the 16th century.

Timing

The walk is about 7 km and is expected to take about 2.5 hrs

Map

NB.  The map shows a linear walk – we will do a circular version which is about 7km.

People walk at their own risk. Normally we start at 10:00, but check the weekly announcements for confirmation.

Of course you can do the walks on your own as well. Just download the GPX file.

Dog owners may bring their well behaved pets. Owners are responsible for their pets. Dogs must be kept under control on a short (max. 2m.) leash at all times and must be well socialised with people and other dogs.

Coffee Stop

Possibly in the village at the end of the walk. If the church at the Convento is open it is worth a visit.
