Accessible by road to the Gorospil pass.
It should be possible to climb immediately onto the ridge to pass by the Zolateko summit (crossing a fence).
Very beautiful view to the south from the Antsetegi rocks.
Return via the track.

A hike that is different from the Peñas d'Itsusi from the Col de Mehatze, which closely follows the cliffs where vultures nest and continues on to views of the ocean and the Pic d'Iguzki (which can be climbed without difficulty).

Departure from Urdazubi/Urdax (Navarre)
This loop is known as SL-NA-15 Otsondottiki. It climbs from the Urdax monastery to the Otsondottiki Pass on a forestry route.
Otsondottiki means little Otsondo in Basque, the Col d'Otsondo (pass) being situated a little higher up.
The white and green markers are clearly visible and the route is unambiguous.
The route is not particularly difficult.
