Altzaga from Altzagarate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Leave Altzagarate and head to Zaldibia<\/a> on your way to Gaintza<\/a>, not taking A-1.
\nOn your way up you will see a first shot of mount Txindoki<\/strong>! If you leave your car in Gaintza\u2019s square, it might be a good plan to walk back just to enjoy those views more carefully.<\/p>\n

From here, head to Lazkao\u2019s exit, taking A-1. After one kilometre, take the roundabout to Lazkaomendi. The neighbourhood of Lazkaomendi<\/strong> shows a breathtaking view of Txindoki and Aralar natural park. Head down to Lazkao again and take the road to the next point, known as Goierri\u2019s balcony<\/strong>: Olaberria<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"lazkaomendi\"

Here you get views of both natural parks of Aizkorri-Aratz and Aralar<\/a>. The monolith that indicates is located in one of the sides of San Juan Bautista\u2019s church.<\/p>\n

Next stop is\u00a0Zerain<\/a>. To get to this town, get back on A-1 towards Vitoria-Gasteiz, taking the exit Idiazabal-Segura. Leave your car in the square where the Ostatu<\/a> is, and then enjoy the views in Segura,<\/a> Idiazabal peaks, mounts Usurbe, Txindoki, Aizkorri\u2026and enjoy the town itself: its ethnographic museum, the hydraulic sawmill, a craft, and all the landscape shaped<\/strong> by the mining industry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Go back the same way and when you see Otatza cider house<\/a> in Zerain, leave the car and walk 50 m towards Barbaris. You will reach a point from where you get a unique view of Segura<\/a>, and its very well preserved medieval quarter<\/strong>. Crossing the town of Segura, get the path to Mutiloa and go up to the neighbourhood of Liernia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Head to Gabiria<\/a>, last stage of this route, following the signals at the exit of Liernia. In Gabiria you will find a small rural village located on a hill<\/strong>, all peace and quiet, offering a very nice view of the region.<\/p>\n

If you still want to continue drving and visitng the highest areas of Goierri, you can access to Mount Usurbe<\/a>, a mountain characteristic of the town of Beasain. You can leave the car in the car parking<\/a> located a little below the top and in a pleasant 10 minute walk you will reach the top of the mountain and the viewpoint.<\/p>\n
