Circle Route
It takes: 4 hours
The “Estaciones Megalíticas’s Route” in Eskain, Iruñarri and Maloa (there are at least 40 sights in dólmenes,menhires, crómlech and túmulos) is just a part of the magic and mistery to understand our acendans.
This route is a part of the beautiful scenery and culture from this place. It joins with the Erakurri mount and the Mendaur mount.
Next to the Erakurri is located the Eskain place, it means “offer or sacrifice” in english.
There are several crómlech in this place, making it an impressive necropolis of worship, observation and powerful tribes of ancient crematorium (lived in this land about 5000 years ago). A particular mention dominates the hill and makes it so that the road has to cross the stone circle toward the mountain Elazmuño, following an ancient route of transhumance.
This high cromlech with large stones, is the clearest expression of the force printed over a long period of time, in the culture of our ancestors.
The roads are the same as before so now the route followed by man thousands of years ago is the same path that we will be forced to step if we seek strategic steps in these mountains.
Undoubtedly, the night and the reflection of the stones make flow the adrenaline in all directions.
Following the trail, it leads us to another amazing route: Iruñarri menhir. With 3 meters high, its astronomical position and creates form, elaborate human silhouettes, always changing with the sunlight or moonlight.
In our meeting with the past, we won’t understand anything if we don’t look at the legends and myths that surround these monuments (Gentiles mahirus, Samsons, etc..) That give these mountains their sacred and magical character.
