The route leads over forest and gravel tracks through the region's hilly landscape up to the 668-meter-high summit. Once at the top, there are expansive panoramic views over the Vallès, the striking San Llorenç del Munt massif with La Mola, and the Montseny mountains. A special highlight of the tour is the small 12th-century Romanesque chapel of Santa Maria del Puig de la Creu, located just below the summit. Its simple natural stone architecture reflects the spiritual significance of this place and invites you to take a short rest.
