El lago Ercina o La Ercina, está situado a 1.108 m de altitud y junto con el Lago Enol, forman los llamados Lagos de Covadonga. La cubeta del Ercina es una balsa alargada y de fondo plano, en cuyo tamaño definitivo tuvo gran influencia la mina Buferrera, ya que en un extremo del lago se construyó un dique de 1.50 m de altura, para embalsar las aguas que se perdían por el sumidero, consiguiendo así duplicar la longitud primitiva. Mantiene casi constante el calado, siendo alrededor de 2.20 m en la parte más profunda en verano y pudiendo llegar a los 3 m. Sus aguas son transparentes, aunque cuando hay vendaval, se enturbian debido a que las arcillas del fondo se remueven y se originan corrientes y oleaje. En cuanto al color de la laguna varía con los cambios de iluminación y la vegetación acuática, pasando del verde claro al verde oscuro e incluso en ocasiones puede presentar tonos amarillentos, verdi-azulados e incluso rojizos.

Lovely place, beautiful surrounding, nice hiking routes and spectacular views. The sunrise was lovely 😍 If you would like to go up by car, you need to go there before 8am, after 8am you can go up only by bus (kind of a public transport) due to narrow roads this is how the want to limit the traffic up there.

A beautiful lake and fantastic walking for all levels. There can be a lot of people at the entre os Lagos viewpoint but beyond that you quickly end up alone. If you plan on hiking and using your phone for gps maps, download them before you get there. We had very intermittent signal
