You might not want to go up to the village because you're too lazy, but once you get there, I assure you, you won't regret it. You can walk up the stairs or bike along the road from the village exit (heading upriver). It's clear that this is a tourist destination because it's home to most of the area's bars and restaurants.

We set out with the hope of ascending to the summit of Tresmares, where the Hijar-Ebro River begins and flows into the Mediterranean, the Pisuerga River (a tributary of the Duero River) flows into the Atlantic, and the Nansa River flows into the Cantabrian Sea. But a thick, damp fog covering the landscape forced us to give up and head back down the same way we came up. The road is partially covered by a bike lane and very little traffic. A steady climb of around 10%. Absolutely recommended. A few years ago, the Alto Campoo pass was the final stage of La Vuelta a España.

Officially, it's the source of the Ebro River, in Fontibre. However, according to what we were told at the tourist office, the waters of the spring pools come underground from the Hijar River, which rises in Alto Campoo. Specifically, in Tresmares, where the Hijar-Ebro begins, flowing into the Mediterranean; the Pisuerga (a tributary of the Duero) flows into the Atlantic; and the Nansa flows into the Cantabrian Sea.

The Collada de Carmona is a mountain pass in the Cantabrian mountain range located in western Cantabria.[1] It rises to 601 m above sea level and links the towns of Valle to the east and Carmona to the west, both belonging to the municipality of Cabuérniga.
