Ideal place to see the Pyrenees with clear skies, amazing.

La Mola d'Estat, also known as the Mola dels Quatre Termes, is a tozal located 1117 meters high in the Prades Mountains. Marked with three crosses, from this summit, one of the highest in the nature reserve, you have fantastic views of the surroundings.

Peter's cave has an entrance 15 meters wide and about five meters high and where in the past, it was covered by a wall that gave it protection. It is known as the cave of Nen de Prades who was a soldier in the Carline War of the late 19th century.

El Tossal de la Baltasana, better known as the Tower by the people of Prades. At the top there is a geodesic vertex, a weather vane and also a small lookout hut with signals, repeaters and a web cam/weather station. From the geodesic vertex, protruding a little from the forest, you will contemplate the views of the surroundings: you will see the village of Prades below and, beyond, the Montsant mountain range. Other peaks in the Tarragona regions can also be seen, such as the Mola de Colldejou or the antennas of the Mussara. In the background, on clear days, you might be able to see the Massif del Port. On the other side, if the sky is clear you can see the Pyrenees, from Puigmal to Mont Perdut. This peak is on the list of the 100 peaks of the F.E.E.C.

It is known that the Poblet forest is rich in springs. Undoubtedly the most well-known and popular are the Boixets fountain and the Deport fountain. The Sport source is located under the Cingle de les Cabres. From this location, the trail leads up to the La Pena viewpoint. The place has a lot of charm and in the past the monks had some kind of construction there (remember that the place is very close to the site of the old La Pena farm and currently a forestry house). These constructions were maintained after the exclaustration of the Poblet monastery, when the Pena estate was sold to private individuals and also later (in 1906) when it was expropriated to be reincorporated into the management of the forestry services. Currently, however, we can only find small evidence of those constructions. The location of the Deport fountain has also had other changes or modifications over the years, and one of these was the location of the fountain itself.

formed by an extensive network of mountain ranges and ravines, more than twenty sets of rock formations are located, a number that continues to grow because new ones are discovered every year. Currently, only Portell de les Lletres shelter, Mas d’en Llort and Mas d’en Ramon d’en Bessó can be visited due to the difficulty of access presented by the rest and also due to their conservation problems, This shelter, together with that of Portell de les Lletres and that of Mas d'en Ramon d'en Bessó, are part of the Catalan rock art ensemble, declared World Heritage by UNESCO since 1998, they constitute a group where a short distance away you can observe the two great cultural traditions and styles of cave art in our country, Levantine art and schematic art. This gives the visit a good opportunity to get to know the societies between the late Paleolithic and the Neolithic-Bronze, between 12,000 and 4,000 years ago. You can also visit the interpretation center located in the town of Montblanc.
