# Vía de la Plata Greenway by Bike, from Béjar to Hervás What to do en Hervás and the Ambroz Valley · Hervás and the Ambroz Valley Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/extremadura/hervas-and-the-ambroz-valley/things-to-do/greenway-bike-bejar-hervas · Revisado: 2026-11-12 - Desde: 23 € per person - Duración: 2 h 30 - Temporada: All year, by reservation - Para quién: Families and anyone who can ride a bike Bike · 2 h 30 · From €23 · 23 km almost all downhill along the old railway, with tunnels, cuttings and chestnut trees; they drive you to the start What It Is The Vía Verde de la Plata Natural Way follows the old railway, which ran from 1896 to 1985, with a gentle gradient and reserved for bikes and walkers. The Béjar to Hervás stretch is the most spectacular: you leave behind Béjar's old textile mills, cross its tunnels, pedal 6 gentle kilometres among chestnut trees to Puerto de Béjar and from there it is all downhill. After the last tunnel, the Baños de Montemayor one, the Ambroz valley opens at your feet and you reach Hervás over the Iron Bridge, with the Jewish quarter in the background. How It Works Bicis Ambroz picks you up at its warehouse in Hervás, takes you by van to Béjar or Puerto de Béjar, gives you the bike and explains the route. You ride down at your own pace, in about two and a half hours, and return the bike in Hervás. Usual departures at 9:00, 10:15, 11:30 and 17:00; the schedule changes through the year. You pay on collection, by card, Bizum or in cash. Who It Is For For families and for anyone, even if you do not ride much: most of it is downhill. There are bikes in all sizes, child trailers, semi-tandems, baby seats, electric bikes and three-seat electric tricycles. The first tunnel at Béjar has no lighting and the ditches are deep: go slowly.
