The best walks and hikes around Castellterçol

Located opposite the Mas de l’Esplugues farmhouse, this bridge allows passage over the Fontscalents stream, a tributary of the Marfà stream. Despite its small size, it is a Romanesque construction that has been preserved to this day. It has a single arch and a narrow passage, designed for the old bridle paths, intended for people and animals, but not for carts. The railing currently visible is a modern addition intended to improve safety.

This farmhouse is very special: it's built taking advantage of the natural shelter of a large rock and is located next to the Fontscalents stream. This spot has been home to different generations for over a thousand years, from medieval times until very recently, making it a place steeped in history. Although its name is already mentioned at the end of the 12th century, the building that stands today is the result of later renovations, especially from the 17th and 18th centuries. Some dates engraved in the stone still offer clues to these works. The façade, with its irregular and rustic appearance, blends elements of well-worked stone with simpler walls made of rubble and mortar.

Waterfall encased in rough rock and an old flour mill documented since the 18th century, taking advantage of the constant force of the Llobeta stream. In addition to what everyone says, there is a little-mentioned detail here: the mill had a small auxiliary lock up the road that allowed the flow to be regulated so that the mill would not stop in dry summers. Remains of the canal and the hole where the wood of the old roller was repaired can still be seen. The path is short and cool, and the constant sound of the water explains why this corner was so valuable to the farmers of the entire valley.

The castle is about 750 meters from the old town of Castelltersol. It is already mentioned in documents from the year 898.

Castellterçol sits at an altitude of 730 meters and boasts a rural landscape of fields, farmhouses, springs, and small streams, along with extensive areas of woodland, oak groves, and pine forests. Its heritage sites include the Prat de la Riba House-Museum and Castellterçol Castle.

Exceptional farmhouse built under a balma, next to the stream of Fontscalents. This place was inhabited from the early medieval period until the beginning of the 21st century. The toponym has been documented since 1192 and the farmhouse itself, since 1408. The construction that has come down to us is later, built between the 17th and 18th centuries. From this century there are several dates inscribed on the lintels: 1748, 1755. The facade, completely irregular, preserves several doors and windows framed with well-cut stone, while the facing is made of pebbles and little or no worked stones tied with mortar
