• Kids need a pass too, so book a spot for every child except a baby in a carrier
• Two stops, 8 km apart: passes are handed out at the info center in the village of Montejo de la Sierra (Calle Real 64), not at the forest
• No food or drink inside, so plan a snack in the village before or after the walk

Hayedo de Montejo is a protected beech forest on the banks of the Jarama river, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can only go in on a guided walk in a small group, along one of three paths. In fall the beeches turn gold and copper.

It suits kids who can walk a couple of kilometers on forest paths and stay with the group.
