A nice place to visit while out on a hike. The castle has a pretty interesting history and is not very hard to arrive on foot. You cannot really enter because it is all closed up but you can visit from the outside. It is mostly in ruins and would be dangerous to enter.

El Clascar, also known as Bertí's castle, is a building in a ruined state in the municipality of San Quirico Safaja, in the Moyanés region. It belongs to the old rural town of Bertí. It is located at the top of the Cingles de Bertí, very close and at noon to the church of San Pedro de Bertí, in the parish to which it belonged. It is at the eastern end of the municipality of San Quirico Safaja. To its southwest there had been the Can Saloma farmhouse. It is accessed by an old rural road, currently a path, which from San Pedro de Bertí heads south, and in about 650 meters leads to Clascar. By vehicle, the track that allows access leaves from the same place, but turns further east. In 1949 it was classified as a Cultural Asset of National Interest, since its origin is related to a medieval castle.

Set of five concavities located on the SW side of the Puig de la Mola (Garraf), along a 70-metre-long ridge. The cavities have a linear route that oscillates between 3 and 6 meters. Without any speleological interest. To access this peak there is a long track (closed to vehicles) that leaves the road from Begues to Olesa de Bonesvalls. Known since time immemorial. The only known data are those published by members of the Víctor Balaguer Museum (Vilanova i la Geltrú) who did the topography in June 1981.

It is at this point where several paths cross, one that takes you to the top of Puig de la Mola and the other that goes in the direction of Les Balmes del Puig de la Mola.
