Sanabria Natural Park

O ex-libris of the park is Lake Sanabria, fed by the imposing River Tera. Around 1.5 kilometres wide, 3 kilometres long and 53 metres deep, it is the largest lake of glacial origin on the Iberian Peninsula. At an altitude of 1,000 metres, the lake is surrounded by large peaks, reaching 2,124 metres at Peña Trevinca. Around 22,000 hectares, a large lake, high mountains, many mountain lakes, some waterfalls, including the imposing Sotillo waterfalls, and diverse flora and fauna make the scenery unique. The fauna includes otters (the park's symbol), roe deer, deer, mountain cats, golden eagles and, of course, the wolf that dominates these parts.

This park is located right next to the 68,000 hectare Sierra de la Culebra Regional Game Reserve and the 75,000 hectare Montesinho Nature Park (in Portugal), making it a unique area in Iberia. The Sierra de la Culebra has the highest density of wolves on the Iberian Peninsula, more than a thousand deer and around 500 roe deer.
