Es uno de los montes bocineros de Bizkaia, desde donde se llamaba a Juntas Generales en Gernika.El macizo de Gorbeia forma parte de una serie de montañas que cruzan el País Vasco paralelas a la costa cantábrica.

The peak of Mount Gorbeia, or Gorbeiagane as it is sometimes called, is crowned with a cross approximately 17 metres high. This cross (the third to be erected on Gorbeiagane) came about on account of the suggestion made by Pope Leo III to all Christianity to commemorate the end of the XIX century and the beginning of the XX by worshipping Christ the Saviour. The afore-mentioned recommendation led to several initiatives, amongst which huge monuments in the shape of crosses were erected on the peaks of the highest mountains. Mount Gorbeia is one of the mountains that used to be used as lookout and warning posts in Vizcaya and the General Assembly in Gernika used to be announced from here.The Gorbeia landmass forms part of a series of mountains crossing the Basque Country running parallel to the Cantabrian coastline. This mountain range favours rainfall in the valleys of the Atlantic side, since they are the first obstacles that water-drenched winds coming from the northwest and predominant in the region run into and stop. Starting from this line of peaks, the landscape begins its transition into Mediterranean environments, producing a significant decrease in the diversity of Euro-Siberian plant species whilst increasing the abundance of species having a Mediterranean character.In spite of our being able to appreciate signs of this

Gorbeiako gailurrean edo Gorbeiaganen gurutzea nabarmentzen da bere ia 17 metroko altuerarekin. Gurutz horren (Gorbegiaganen altxaturiko hirugarren gurutzea da) jatorria Leon XIII Aita Santuak kristau guztiei eginiko gomendio batean dago. XIX. mendearen amaiera eta XX.aren hasiera Kristo salbatzailearen omenez gogoratzeko gomendioa eman zuen eta beste ekimenak beste zirela, mendirik altuenetan gurutze ikusgarriak eraiki ziren. Bizkaiko mendi bozineroetako bat dugu, eta dei egiten zen bertatik Gernikako Batza Nagusietara abiatzeko.Gorbeiako mazizoa, Kantauriko kostaldearekiko paralelo Euskal Herria zeharkatzen duten mendien atala da. Mendi lerro hau lagungarri gertatzen da Atlantikoko isurialdeko bailarak euritsu izan daitezen, kontuan hartuta bera dela herrialdean ugari diren ipar-mendebaldeko haize hezeek sartzean aurkitzen duten lehendabiziko oztopoa. Gailur-lerro honetatik aurrera, Mediterranio aldeko paisaietarako trantsizioari ekingo zaio, eta nabarmen murriztuko da landare-espezie euro-siberiarren aniztasuna, Mediterranio aldeko espezieak ugalduz doazen heinean.Inguru babestu hauek osatzen duten eskala urrian
