<\/a>Los Saltos de Sábline. Gran Tosna y Salto de Sábline, reseñas<\/div>My visit in September was a perfect example of the region's charm. The weather was warm but not sweltering, and the lack of rain made it an ideal time to explore the area. I had the opportunity to walk along two ecological trails near the Saltos de Sábline, both of which offered unique experiences.
<\/a><\/div>One of the trails, which passes through the Gran Tosna, was particularly impressive, with its winding path and stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The other trail, which runs alongside the Salto de Sábline, was less appealing to me, as it passes near a rehabilitation center and a landfill.•• Cómo llegar?<\/strong><\/p>The easiest way to reach the Saltos de Sábline is by car, but I opted for the train, which takes approximately 30 minutes and costs 80 rubles.
