Llierca Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Coming from the southeast via GR1, the descent leading up to it is super rocky, which may force less experienced riders to step off and push but it's only for a few metres and you'll be rewarded with stunning views across the river/rock pool.

Tunnels of the Vía Verde (Ruta del Carrilet)

Highlight • Structure

These are the first two tunnels of the Vía Verde at the exit of Olot. There are many more between here and Girona. These tunnels really give you the feeling that this is an old train line, and it is.

Greenway: the Carrilet Olot-Girona

Highlight • Cycleway

The Carrilet Olot-Girona does exactly that, it takes you from Olot to Girona on old train lines that are now nice for biking or hiking. The section between Olot and Les Preses is very beautiful. It starts by going through three or four tunnels, past an old station, which is now a cafe, and then opens out onto fields as you approach Les Preses.

Croscat Volcano Natural Area

Highlight • Volcano

Volcanic cone completely covered with vegetation except for the grederas, old area of mining extractions with a cut that allows you to see the internal structure of the volcano. The impact produced by the mining extractions caused social mobilizations (1975) and the subsequent protection of the volcanic zone (1982).

Sant Pere de Besalú and the Besalú Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

The monastery of Sant Pere was founded in 977 by Bishop-Count Miró I and consecrated in 1003 by Count Bernhard I, also known as Taillefer. A Benedictine community of twelve monks lived there. However, with Count Taillefer's death in 1020, the decline of the count's rule began, culminating in its final demise in 1111. From then on, the abbot of the monastery became the highest authority over the population, which gave the Church considerable political influence in the 12th and 13th centuries.
