On Thursday, 19 December 2024, a visit was made to the gatekeeper’s hut, the recreation area for users of the Camí Natural de l’Antic Trenet around point 12+000 of the CV-50 and improvements to the route around the greenway, to the Alzira area and near the town of La Barraca d’Aigües Vives.
The presentation was attended by Paqui Momparler Orta, president of the Mancomunitat de la Ribera Alta, Alfons Domínguez, mayor of Alzira, and Gilles Denans, mayor of La Barraca d’Aigües Vives.
The event included the screening of a promotional video of the Camí Natural de l’Antic Trenet, produced by the Mancomunitat de la Ribera Alta, with aerial images of the route to showcase the appeal of this natural and tourist resource, and the symbolic handover of the key to the hut to the mayor of La Barraca d’Aigües Vives.
The purpose of this basic and implementation project is to refurbish the signalman’s hut and its surroundings as an information point for users of the Camí Natural de l’Antic Trenet Carcaixent-Dénia, in order to assign it a use linked to mobility and leisure on the Greenway.
This action responds to the connection between the section corresponding to the Antic Trenet de Carcaixent-Dénia railway line, which runs from the end of the town centre of La Barraca d’Aigües Vives to the halt located near the Monastery of La Barraca.
This is a natural area of great scenic interest, although it has been urbanised in places (access issues and isolated buildings of different types and sizes) in some sections.
This building will be used as a warehouse linked to the greenway and will serve as an information point for users, by placing a QR sign indicating the route with the main points of interest and possible connections to the towns through which it passes. It will also serve as a reception centre, where greenway promotion and revitalisation technicians will offer direct information to users regarding active tourism activities promoted by greenways, hiking and cycle tourism, etc.
Work on this project began on 24 September 2024 and is part of the ‘2024 Tourism Promotion Plan’. The subsidy budget for the project is €51,304.00, including VAT.
