Top 7 Waterfalls around Castellar De N'Hug

In the summer the influx of people makes this natural space lose all its charm and beauty, it has been an idea Positive regular entry To this tour in summer To preserve it from the masses..!!

Birth of the Llobregat river. Stairs and directions for a nice and easy walk (with some stairs!)

The source of the Llobregat river, in the municipality of Castellar de n'Hug, is a spectacular place, since the water springs directly from the subsoil through calcareous rocks, forming waterfalls. The geology of the subsoil is what allows this phenomenon: groundwater flows between the fissures of Devonian carbonate materials, but when meeting the rocks generally Permian impermeables, and unable to break through, they make their way to the surface.

This is the highest pool in Torrent de la Cabana, as well as the largest and deepest of the 7 pools on the official route. A few meters further up there is the Bar la Parada del Gorg open from April to November, only holidays and weekends (in August it is open every day).

The largest and deepest gorg of the 7. It has a nice waterfall. Ideal for bathing and relaxing with family, friends and dogs. In the summer months there is a bar if you fancy an ice cream or coffee. In the middle of summer it gets very crowded, so for a quieter experience I recommend coming during the week or out of season.

There are no toilets.

the Graell de Cal Pigot or Griell, according to the map of Editorial Alpina, is a grade with equipped parts that allows us to save the cliff of Malanyeu, also called the Feixadeta. Go along the left bank, in the direction of travel, of the Rec del Griell which in this section forms a canal with some jumps. The first stepped section we find a knotted rope to overcome it, especially not to slip, as it is usually very wet. We overcome the second section with the help of a moving metal ladder that has known better times. Once this is over, the canal closes and does not allow progress, providentially we see that the wall on the right is perforated and invites us to cross it. In fact there is no other option. Once on the other side we are inside the canal where the Rec that forms a waterfall goes down, being careful not to put our feet in it, we turn right helping ourselves with our hands around the spur that forms the rock perforated until it reaches a small relief. We face the waiting half climbing until we reach the top of the cliff. Depending on the rainfall regime we will have more or less risk of getting wet.

The Estiula torrent, better known as the Cabana torrent, refers to a nearby farmhouse, a small tributary of the Merdàs river, which after crossing the village of Campdevànol, joins the Freser river. The route of the Cabana torrent is of great natural interest, with shady and humid places, with lush riparian vegetation, where the most present species is the alder, a deciduous tree that can reach thirty meters in height. . Another of the attractions of the route are the 7 gorges that we will find during the first part of the route, small bases of fresh and transparent water, some with jumps of great beauty. The Cabana torrent has been one of the most frequented natural areas in the region for a few years now. roads, which is why in 2012 the town councils of Campdevànol, Les Llosses and the owners of the area agreed to regulate traffic with an automatic barrier in the car park at Font del Querol.
