Tips from the Community
Beautiful lake located in an environment that in spring and autumn dresses it in a thousand colors and birdsong...and without asking for anything, we have a good restaurant right on the shore (Cal Garretà) that takes care of the smells of so much eat like from the fireplace.

Splendid place a few km from Berga. From there, the old lane leads to Cal Rosal.

A very beautiful path from the Pedret bridge. Some of the sections are quite dark due to the length of the tunnel, but it can be cycled smoothly bit by bit.

Remains of the ancient, majestic and forgotten 14th-17th century Donkey-back Gothic Orniu bridge, very similar to the Pedret bridge and which was composed of 4 arches

These are the old factories and houses of Cal Rosal. In 1858, they were one of the most important textile colonies. Today, you can still appreciate the magnitude of the buildings on the banks of the Llobregat River.

Dating back to 1286, this bridge helped improve communications between Berga and the monastery of Sant Pere de la Portella. At first the bridge was made of wood, but a short time later it was rebuilt in stone and in the Gothic style. The central ogive as seen now was added in the 15th century. This bridge is a magnificent example of medieval "cornered" or "donkey's back" bridges, with its central part raised, thus allowing a wider central arch that allows greater water flow. Three smaller ones are added to the sides, two to the right and one to the left, semicircular, somewhat irregular and lowered. The bridge has undergone repairs and reconstructions over time due to floods, and in the 17th and 18th centuries the road was paved with boulders and a stone railing was added.

The Pedret Bridge is a bridge of about 80 m in length, of medieval origin, over the Llobregat river. It served to unite the town of Berga with the church of Sant Quirze de Pedret and is documented in the year 1286. It is in the Gothic style and consists of four arches, although initially it had five, of unequal sizes: the central arch is pointed and much higher than the others, the rest are smaller, two semicircular, lowered, and a third pointed arch. Near the bridge, and dug into the rock, there is a series of rounded holes that correspond to the sockets of the wooden beams that supported an old Romanesque bridge. It is advisable to go up the old path nearby that leads to the church of Sant Quirze de Pedret, and visit it. It is one of the best preserved examples of pre-Romanesque religious architecture in Catalonia, built in the Carolingian period (9th-10th centuries).
