Dates from the 18th century.... Built in honor of the only person who did not get sick during the smallpox outbreak that made everyone else sick. Erola, the name of the girl who did not get sick, and dedicated herself to healing all the sick. Believing that what this girl did was a miracle, they built this Hermitage for her.... Mara de Déu de la Erola. To this day, perfectly cared for and clean. The name Erola.... means..... Small esplanade at the top of the Mountain ⛰️😃

A classic stop for cyclists in the Maresme region, located on an old farmhouse that served as a refueling point for tenant farmers and woodcutters long before mountain bike routes existed. What's less known is that this was once where carts transporting coal from Montnegre gathered, which explains the wide open area: it was a true turning point. For today's biker, it means one thing: air, shade, water, and space to breathe before deciding whether to head towards Turó Gros, Hortsavinyà, or the trails that descend towards Tordera. A useful stop in the heart of the mountains, with that old-house atmosphere where cyclists always seem to end up passing by.

Beyond the usual features, what's interesting is that it wasn't just a parish church, but a key crossroads between isolated farmhouses and forest trails. For centuries it also served as a meeting place for the foresters, who used the porch to exchange warnings about snowfalls, fires, or lost livestock. Inside, remnants of badly worn mural paintings were found, indicating that it was once more important than it appears today. The surrounding area retains that secluded and remote atmosphere that has always characterized Sant Llop.

Simple and isolated chapel in the heart of Montseny, located on a plateau that served as a crossing point between farmhouses and forest paths. Documented since the Middle Ages, it was a stopping place for shepherds and charcoal burners who left small offerings there before crossing the pass. Remains of the old shelter and the terrace that was used to gather on days of gathering can still be seen. The access is short and quiet, and the surrounding silence keeps intact the atmosphere of a remote chapel that it has always had.

A small, medieval church situated on a plateau with fine views over the forest and the old shepherds' paths. Beyond its usual features, it has a little-known detail: for years it hosted brief retreats for local hermits, and small marks remain on the rock where they placed oil lamps on cold nights. The access is short and straightforward, and the place retains that secluded tranquility that has always served as a place to pause for a moment before continuing on one's way.

There's not much to say, I really liked the idea of putting a bell. It's also interesting that there's a mobile phone holder where you can take cool photos

I haven't climbed to the highest part of the viewpoint yet but I would like to. However, I have gone through the posters and I can say that they are very original and fulfill their function.
