Signposted Trail - El Encinarejo
Description
It is a path designed around the Jandula River. Through a pleasant walk, you can enjoy the contrast between the riverside ecosystems and those of a typical dehesa of the Sierra de Andújar Natural Park.
It starts at the Iron Bridge that crosses the Jandula River and is also the main entrance to the natural park. A recreational area with barbecues and tables continues in parallel to the right bank of the river. In this section of the path we can observe the characteristic vegetation of the park's riverside forests: strawberries, alyses, sardines, tarayes, etc., which serve as a refuge to the representative fauna of this humid area: royal herons, zampullin, water cocks and if we are lucky you can see some otter. It is interesting, too, the presence of small sides of rabies or mohyes that often approach visitors waiting for food.
On this same stretch and on our left, in what constitutes the Solana del Coscojar, we can see, on the hillside, that the vegetation changes markedly, with the appearance of oak, pine pines, lentils and grasses.
Following the river bank we arrive at the foot of the dam of the Encinarejo swamp. It is a small swamp, more like a lake, and the purpose of which is the use of electrical energy. Under the dam and through a bridge you cross the other shore, after a small climb you reach the village of Encinarejo, built to house the employees who built the dam.
The rabbit is of great importance inside the park. In addition to traditional cynegetic use in the area, it provides support for species of great interest such as the lince, the imperial eagle or the meloncillo. The deer is the species of major hunting par excellence in the natural park, the traditional form of hunting is the montaria, its tradition in this
