Durakogain is a modest hill. Traditionally, its ascent is from the port by a dead Kruzeta mountaineer interest. However
this mountain has its beauty and offers interesting opportunities to admire the peaks of Aramaiona, the valley and the grandeur of the upper basin of the river Deba Kurutzeberri in the foreground.
To extend a bit out we approach the close Asensio mendi of 681 m. altitude and from his cross to observe the top of Durak gain, among others. The return trip will make for Untzilla.
