A lovely morning walk through beautiful Ultzama.
In Gorrontz–Olano we first need to find the path that leads up into the hills, located next to the old animal drinking trough, where the road ends and the woodland track begins.
This track will take us, among oaks and walnut trees, to Gelbentzu on a walk suitable for all. On arriving in Gelbentzu, we turn left and continue downhill until we reach a property that blocks the way.
Right there, we turn left (signposted Orgi) and continue descending until we join another path where we turn left, crossing through the wire fence. We continue along the track to the next junction, where we turn right. We keep going until we reach the road, and there we turn right.
After a few metres we reach a road/track crossroads. To the right is Orgi Forest; to the left, the road to Lizaso.
We first turn left (towards Lizaso) to see the “Balsa Verde” (Green Pond), then we return to the Orgi route, cross the road to skirt Orgi Forest and from there head to Lizaso and, finally, back to Gorrontz-Olano, where we pick up the car and finish the walk.
After the walk, it is worth visiting the renowned Orgi Restaurant in Lizaso. Its tasting menu specialises in Ultzama mushrooms.
