Departure and arrival point for mountain biking, asphalted road reaches here. In the social place they serve views, coffees and you can even stay for lunch. There is a grill and you buy the meat you want to cook there. Of course, at the weekend and always after queuing for a while.

It is a very pleasant port on both sides since it is very bearable, always with ramps of around 5%. I like it better on the southern slope, the one that starts from The 2 slopes are very different, not only in length, but also in the type of landscape. The southern slope is 31.9km from Roda de Ter. It is used in the Terra de Remences march. It has 2 rest areas. It is an open climb, with mostly panoramic views. At first, a lot of views on the Plan de Vic. The northern slope, which starts from the Vall d'en Bas, is 11 km long and has hardly any views, almost always in the shadow of the vegetation and the gorge through which the road climbs. It has several horseshoe curves that give it the appearance of more of a mountain pass.

The Church of Sant Martí Sacalm is a work of Susqueda (Selva) protected as a cultural asset of local interest. In the small town that currently centers the municipality of Susqueda, the parish church of Sant Martí stands out. It is a sober building, with a rectangular nave, with a lowered arch door, bull's eye, triangular pediment and bell tower with a square plant, with four arches, at noon. The entrance door, framed in stone and with a monolithic lintel, stands out for the stone decoration in the form of pinnacles, the vegetal decoration, a monolithic niche in the shape of a shell - currently without an image - and the inscriptions JESUS and MARIA and the date of 1786. In the construction of the facade of the church, two evolutionary phases can be clearly seen, since the roof was lifted off. That's why there are two bull's-eyes, one of stone and the other of tile. On the side facades there are three bull's-eyes framed with tile as openings at the top, before the roof.
