Volvemos a la zona de Lumbier, pero esta vez para conocer de cerca su célebre foz. Cuántas veces hemos pasado a su vera rumbo al Pirineo y mirábamos los restos del puente romano camino de Liédena... En esta ocasión vamos a trazar una circular muy bien balizada, con un camino de ida monótono y otro de retorno sumamente atractivo, donde atravesaremos dos túneles y pasaremos por el reino de los buitres. Impresionante el paisaje creado por el río Irati.
Ubicación: Foz de Lumbier, merindad de Sangüesa, Navarra.
Desnivel acumulado: 232m.
Distancia: 7,26km.
Duración: 1h y 50min.
Acceso: Partimos desde parking de la foz de Lumbier, situado muy cerca de la localidad de Lumbier.
10:51. Dejamos el coche en el parking de pago (394m) y nos dirigimos a la foz.

Enseguida dejamos la autopista y torcemos a la izquierda, siguiendo las marcas verdiblancas.

Y llegamos al primer túnel. Justo antes, por la izquierda, parte un estrecho sendero que lleva al puente romano. Hay mucha gente y el suelo está pulido. Cuidado.

ver track (https://es.wikiloc.com/rutas-senderismo/circular-foz-de-lumbier-1642045)
LAS NOTAS (La escala es del 1 al 5):
DIFICULTAD: 4. Recorrido apto para cualquier senderista salvo el tramo del puente romano, donde hay que extremar la precaución.
BELLEZA DEL ITINERARIO: 4. Impresionante el paisaje de la foz, con los paredones y el transcurrir del río Irati.
Y ASÍ LO VIO MI PADRE: Mi partenaire me comenta que "no es de extrañar encontrarte con tanta gente en semejante paraje".
Una opción recomendable cuando el día no está para las grandes cimas.
