Routes and excursions TOP
Transited since time immemorial, in recent years this road was used to drive cattle in summer to their high Pyrenean pastures. Until a few centuries ago it was the only existing route to the Camprodon Valley from the Bianya Valley.
The excursion goes through the dominions of the oak wood, the beech grove and the mountain meadows, and also aims to reach two of the highest and most emblematic peaks of the Alta Garrotxa.
Typical walk, mainly summery, passing through the fountains of Fàbrega, Molí Nou, Font Grossa, del Mosquer, Fontana and Teula. It also offers us the opportunity to visit the Pou del Glaç and reach the hermitage of Santa Cecília
Although some structures from the 11th century do still stand, most of the surviving medieval buildings in La Garrotxa date from the 12th and 13th centuries.
Marian Vayreda’s novel La Punyalada provides one of the best ways of discovering the Alta Garrotxa. The places depicted by this 19th century author in the scenes from his famous novel have been joined in a discovery route.
The recreational area of Xenacs in Les Preses provides an atypical view of La Garrotxa and is one of the best places anywhere for getting a bird’seye view of Croscat and the other volcanoes in the area. As well, the height makes it an ideal place.
On clear days on certain stretches of this walk you can look eastwards and enjoy the views that extend right across the Empordà plain as far as the Mediterranean Sea.
