La Llebreta Lake
Highlight • Lake
Curiously, this lake is not of glacial origin like many others in the area, but was formed from a landslide of one of the mountains that caused a natural barrier in this valley.

Trail Reviews
From Palanca De Molina to Estany Llong and back to parking taxis in Planell de Aigüestortes. Down to palanca De Molina by taxi.
From the 🅿️ La Molina it's especially a nice walk to the waterfall of Sant Esperit when you take the north route that passes the Ermita de San Nicolau. The South route has a very steep climb. From the visitor centre after 1,5 hour hike its an easy walk to the refugio and the next lake Estany Llong.
