Torcas de los Palancares
About 30 karst sinkholes scattered through pine forest, some more than 100 meters across, linked by loop trails.
The sinkholes formed where the roofs of underground caves collapsed. They vary in depth, and vegetation grows on their floors. The largest, the Great Torca, is about 100 meters across and 90 meters deep. Trails from the car park connect the main sinkholes, about 2–3 km one way, with railed viewpoints in many places. The site is about 25 km from Cuenca and can be combined with the Lagoons of Cañada del Hoyo on the same day.
