Beautiful lake located in an environment that in spring and autumn dresses it in a thousand colors and birdsong...and without asking for anything, we have a good restaurant right on the shore (Cal Garretà) that takes care of the smells of so much eat like from the fireplace.

Splendid place a few km from Berga. From there, the old lane leads to Cal Rosal.

A very beautiful path from the Pedret bridge. Some of the sections are quite dark due to the length of the tunnel, but it can be cycled smoothly bit by bit.

Very pleasant port of passage between Berga and Sant Llorenç de Morunys, with a very characteristic tunnel at the top. The two slopes are constant and accessible, with a lot of curves and along a very well paved and signposted mountain road. You can also reach the Mine through the port of Malpás de Capolat. It is a narrow road, with good asphalt, very quiet, a continuous up and down, although from the Mine it goes up more than down.

Remains of the ancient, majestic and forgotten 14th-17th century Donkey-back Gothic Orniu bridge, very similar to the Pedret bridge and which was composed of 4 arches

Dating back to 1286, this bridge helped improve communications between Berga and the monastery of Sant Pere de la Portella. At first the bridge was made of wood, but a short time later it was rebuilt in stone and in the Gothic style. The central ogive as seen now was added in the 15th century. This bridge is a magnificent example of medieval "cornered" or "donkey's back" bridges, with its central part raised, thus allowing a wider central arch that allows greater water flow. Three smaller ones are added to the sides, two to the right and one to the left, semicircular, somewhat irregular and lowered. The bridge has undergone repairs and reconstructions over time due to floods, and in the 17th and 18th centuries the road was paved with boulders and a stone railing was added.

The Mas is an old farm. It is on the side of the road and is very interesting and handsome.
