Tips from the Community
The small mountain village of Caleao hangs beautifully on the slope and appears very authentic. Even if the village is suitable as a starting point for various tours, such as the one into the Desfiladero de los Arrudos, it appears at best a little touristy. If you can't find a parking space here, you might find one on the other side of the road leading to the village, near the campsite - the parking spaces opposite the main building seem to be public, not just for visitors to the campsite.

Coming from Caleao, the cart track ends here at the last house into the Desfiladero de los Arrudos and from here you continue on a largely natural path into the gorge, which digs itself ever deeper and steeper into the mountains. This gorge is truly impressive, the path is worth it.

Coming out of the forest, I saw the waterfall for the first time, the goal of my tour. You could already hear it earlier...

Along the path from Tarna to Tabayón de Mongallu, you will repeatedly find so-called pollarded beeches - beeches that were previously repeatedly cut back for timber harvesting above the height accessible to cattle, and then formed new shoots there, so that the very old trees now have a thick but low main trunk and above it many comparatively thin younger shoots.

The Tabayón del Mongallu, with its 60 meters of height, is quite impressive. It doesn't just fall straight down, it looks very beautiful, even if it doesn't carry huge amounts of water. After the last stretch to the waterfall, which is a bit steeper on a scree ground, you can take a slightly longer break here. It's quite cool near the waterfall, which is very good on a hot day.

From Tarna to the waterfall, two paths lead, relatively direct or a bit longer and flatter along the stream. Together, as PR-AS 060 Ruta del Tabayón de Mongallu, they form a beautiful circular route, where you relatively rarely encounter other hikers - only at the waterfall did I have some company. The loop is good for warming up before hiking longer distances, it certainly has a few strenuous climbs but is quite manageable. The last stretch to the waterfall is quite rocky, you should take your time on the descent here.

It's a beautiful place and a dreamlike landscape. What a shame the shelter isn't working. These politicians we have don't do a single thing right.

In case of morning frost, when climbing the waterfall, put snow boots
