Ciudad Encantada
A karst stone forest about 35 kilometres northeast of Cuenca, where strangely shaped limestone pillars earn it the name 'Enchanted City'.
Weathering and dissolution of Cretaceous limestone, around 90 million years old, have produced rock formations shaped like mushrooms, seals, hammers, and ships. The park has a loop trail of about 3 kilometres with numbered markers along the way, which takes about 1.5 hours on foot. Entry costs about €8. You need a car. From Cuenca, drive along the CM-2104 road for about 40 minutes. It can be combined with the Devil's Window and Laguna de Uña for a day trip.
