Tunnel 4 Peña Bermeja
The Peña Bermeja I Tunnel, about 100 metres long, takes its name from the nearby Peña Bermeja, a reddish rock formation that characterises the surroundings and frames this enclave with its unique relief.
The tunnel makes its way under the rock, revealing a careful construction in ashlar masonry with hexagonal stone cladding, a classic example of 20th century railway engineering.
Without no interior lighting, the tunnel retains a cool and quiet atmosphere. Users are advised to bring their own torches or lighting systems, as the interior can be dark, especially on cloudy days or at dusk. The crossing, however, is completely safe and offers a unique experience combining history, architecture and nature.
This tunnel was part of the ambitious Baeza-Utiel railway project, undertaken in the 1920s to connect Andalusia with the Spanish Levante region. Although it was never finished, the remaining infrastructure has today become an essential part of the route of this Nature Trail.
