Bejar Via Verde

[jongood]

This runs from just above Bejar to Galisteo, about 80Kms. Bejar is also a handy stopover just off the Plata Motorway Between Slamanca and Caceres.

We rode about 15kms of it between Bejar and Banos. Surface was hard packed gravel easily wide enough for 2 bikes to pass. We encountered 3 tunnels, 2 off which were lit but lights are probably a good idea.

Here's a couple of pics of the stopoff - The old station with lovely clean mountain water.

You would love it Martin, if you zoom in on the map it looks like it does a couple of loops further down.

It's high up, for those that know that motorway, its just as you go over the hill and see the big lake

You may be interested in this thread which is a gateway to several other threads, mainly of disused railway lines and alike.
The Donau was done last year which is your neck of the woods

The disused railway line and voie vert thread

As will be seen below we have found a number of Disused railway lines and voie verts (traffic free cycling routes) in France and the links are all below so you can go directly to one which fancy having a look at. It would be great if others added their routes and a link so there was just a one...

Its on S4S just south of Salamanca

We rode (mountain bikes without batteries) the Via de la Plata many years ago. The whole area around Bejar is lovely.

I think motorhome parking areas are more prevalent nowadays.

If you stop at Salamanca there is an interesting little museum with cars and bikes.
