Riu Congost Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

La Garriga has two cycle paths and numerous paths to explore by bicycle.

The exit from Plaza del Silencio passes through the Paseo where you can see summer heritage.
Next, you advance through the Narcisa Freixas square until you reach Can Terreros where you can see the archaeological remains of Can Terreros. Continue over the bridge on Bages Street and Ramon Ciurans Street. Finally. It connects with the river path in Llerona, Rosanes and La Almendra, in a route of 3.9km. This route can be done up to 35km to reach Besós beach in a gradient of just under 100 meters.

It descends comfortably parallel to the river, scanning the river, which is on the right, and crop fields on the left. As you go down, you reach a landscape that becomes more urban and industrial. The path has no discontinuity.

Vallforners Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Vallforners reservoir is a Spanish hydraulic infrastructure built in the Cánoves stream, within the municipality of Cánoves, in the Vallés Oriental region, in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia.

It is located in the Montseny massif, between the Ombradors and Palestrins mountains. Downstream is the town of Cánoves. Upstream, the La Calma plain, in the Montseny natural park. The culminating point of the valley is the Puig de Sui, with 1322 m of altitude.

The reservoir belongs to the municipality of Cánoves, in the Vallés Oriental region. It was built between 1985 and 1989 and its special feature is the fact that it was the first reservoir in Catalonia with a stone dam and compacted earth. It has a width of 10 m at the crest, with an impermeable clay core. The dam has been used to raise a small hill on which trees have been planted.
