Small mountain village of Berguedà, halfway to Coll de la Creueta and also the end of Montgrony from Gombrèn. It is known for the Llobregat River Springs, but also for its beauty. A good point to rest and refuel.

My first visit to this beautiful high mountain town was in 1992, when I was barely 11 years old, in the middle of June. I remember it rained a lot and it was very cold. It coincided with the Monte Bondone stage of that year's Giro d'Italia. From then on I knew that I would pass by there on a bicycle. Castellar de N'Hug is a beautiful town that is characterized by: - birth of the Llobregat river (its sources are very pleasant) - gigantic ham and cheese croissants and other tastes.

It is a very steep and fun climb on both sides. The road is very winding, with continuous curves and countercurves, some of these counterbanks. The asphalt is rough and there is no shoulder, although it is true that traffic is very scarce. The eastern slope, which starts from Campdevánol and passes through Gombrèn, is approximately 14 km and in no case does the slope exceed 5%. It is a sunny climb, very favorable for the colder months. In summer it is usually very hot. The western slope, which starts from Guardiola de Berguedà, is a little longer and presents a first section to La Pobla de Lillet characterized by long straights. It has some sections at 6-7% and the last 3 km are the hardest.

The Coll de Merolla is the crossing point between the Pobla de Lillet and Campdevànol, that is to say between the upper Berguedà and the Ripollès. The two slopes are gentle, and halfway, near Gombrèn, there is the link with the Carretera de Montgrony, to continue climbing up to Castellar de N'Hug. At the top is the Merolla refuge, site of the legendary full moon brevet dinner.

Castellar de n'Hug is a town located at 1,450 meters above sea level, within the Cadí-Moixeró natural park, on the south side of the Pyrenees. It appears for the first time documented in the year 839, in the act of consecration of the cathedral of Urgell. Most likely the first building was the parish church of Santa Maria, replaced in the 11th century by the Romanesque church that has been partially preserved to this day. The castle that gave rise to the place name has already disappeared, although some remains can be seen. The town has traditionally lived off livestock farming, and also on smuggling, especially in times of war and post-war. The area has always been a transit area for refugees and fugitives. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the opening of the Portland cement factory, one of the best examples of industrial architecture in Catalonia, its economic activity was revitalized. Currently, and thanks to the fact that the popular architecture of the area has been preserved, based on the use of stone, wood and tiles, the municipality is a tourist attraction, and has been declared by the Ministry of Tourism as one of the most beautiful towns in Spain.

The Coll de Merolla refuge is located at 1090 meters above sea level, next to the road that connects Pobla de Lillet and Gombrèn. It consists of a kitchen and dining room and four rooms with bunk beds and capacity for 23 people. There is also a community kitchen and bar and restaurant service.
