The Atxuri Green Route

The Atxuri Green Route

Explore the Atxuri Green Route, starting at Uriguen Park and passing through meadows, country villages, and picnic areas.
After visiting Mungia with its architectural gems like Torrebillela, Goikoetxe Roman bridge, the Agirre family stately home and its churches, we begin the route which starts in Uriguen Park, the location of the 16th century Landetxo Goikoa farmhouse, currently “Izenaduba Basoa”, the Basque mythology park, where we can see centuries old trees of both local and exotic varieties. The green route begins in the lower region, beside the car park and recreation area. Along this route we will tour the meadows of the Atxuri valley, also crossing the Derio-Mungia motorway, and we shall pass beside the country village of Atxuri, in a setting that is ideal for strolling along numerous local footpaths to then reach the Zabalondo whistle stop; here, there is a house that is still inhabited that used to be used by the railway workers in charge of the barriers. Then crossing the road we head to Laukariz and after skirting the industrial zone, along a tarmacked path, we eventually reach an open area with picnic tables.
