You can come with children, the itinerary is suitable for all types of people, it runs along wide paths and is less than 6 km, but in this place keep an eye on them, as the stones can slip and it could be dangerous.

Trail Reviews
Path of about 6 km that winds through the beech forest, apart from the uphill stretch of rock L'Empredad de Morou, but nothing difficult. From here it is possible to discover the panorama of the valley and see as far as the sea when it is clear. At the end of the ring there is an artificial reservoir "Pantá de Sant Fe" which collects the waters of the homonymous river. Even in autumn, the colors of folliage are spectacular.
