This route was planned by komoot.
The trail is a circular route, and while specific parking areas aren't detailed, it's generally accessible from Les Rovires. Hikers often look for parking near the start of the trailheads in the area. Given its proximity to Barcelona, many visitors drive to the starting point.
The trail is generally considered dog-friendly, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty with your canine companion. However, always ensure your dog is under control, especially in areas with other hikers or wildlife, and be mindful of any local regulations regarding leashes.
The best time to hike this route is typically during spring or autumn when the weather is milder and the vegetation is lush. Summer can be hot, and mosquitoes may be prevalent, especially near water sources. Winter offers a different charm but can have slippery sections due to water flow.
No, there are no permits or entrance fees required to access the Gorg de la Mola, Les Rovires – Circular Route. It is a publicly accessible natural area.
The terrain is varied. While generally accessible, some sections can be challenging. You'll encounter mostly accessible paths, but good fitness and sure-footedness are recommended. Parts near the river can be slippery due to water-washed rocks, and some areas may have been damaged by floods, requiring careful navigation or even holding onto cables. The final descent to the main waterfall is steep and rocky.
The trail is considered moderate. The initial 1.7 km stretch towards the Gorg de la Mola is relatively easy and family-friendly. However, other sections demand more caution due to steep, rocky, or potentially slippery paths, making the full circular route more suitable for those with some hiking experience and appropriate footwear.
The route is rich in natural beauty. Key highlights include the impressive Gorg de la Mola with its waterfalls and natural pools, the Rovires Spring, the Pond of the Carinyo Spring, Font de la Teula, and Droc Rock. You'll also follow the Riera de Corbera, offering views of various small waterfalls and lush Mediterranean vegetation.
Given the varied terrain, it's essential to wear appropriate mountain footwear with good grip. Bringing water, snacks, and sun protection is always advisable. If hiking in summer, consider insect repellent due to potential mosquitoes. A first-aid kit is also recommended for any minor scrapes or falls on rocky sections.
Be aware that sections near the river can be very slippery due to smooth, water-washed rocks. Some paths may have been damaged by floods, requiring extra caution and potentially using cables for support. The final descent to the main waterfall is steep and rocky. For a more relaxed experience, consider hiking during off-peak hours or seasons to avoid crowds, as it's a popular spot near Barcelona.
Yes, the route also passes through sections of the Accés font de l'Hermano, Plaça Onze de Setembre, and Passatge dels Segadors, among others. While these are not major long-distance trails, they are part of the local network.
The trail itself is a natural route, so there are no dedicated restrooms or cafes directly along the path. It's advisable to use facilities in nearby towns or at the trailhead before starting your hike and to carry out all your waste. Pack enough water and snacks for the duration of your trip.
Attention !! The last 2 kms are not correct. From moderate to difficult. Elevation of more than 700. In addition, to finish the last section, closed roads of brambles. It is the first time in 6 months and more than 30 excursions that I have had a bad time. Watch the age!!
