In the heart of Catalonia, between Maresme, La Selva and Osona, lies a place full of mystery, deep forests, hidden springs and paths that invite you to slow down: Les Guilleries. More than a region, it’s a refuge for those seeking to reconnect with nature.
Trails that tell stories
Les Guilleries offer a network of routes for all levels, each with its own charm:
- Font Vella – Font del Pic route: ideal for those who want a gentle walk, discover mysterious springs and breathe the fresh forest air.
- Font d’en Gurb route: crosses chestnut woods and reaches hidden streams, with the sound of water as your companion.
- Boscos d’en Serrallonga route: for those wishing to venture further into Les Guilleries, discovering old farmhouses, the Serrallonga cave, waterfalls and the Ice Well (Pou de Glaç).
- Nen Jesús de Praga route: a short yet delightful trail that leads to panoramic views over the plain from the small chapel.
You can also take the circular route from Vilanova de Sau, which passes waterfalls, peaks, forest paths and historical corners.
Nature, calm and shades of colour
Walking through Les Guilleries is letting the forest speak: listening to the whisper of the wind through beeches and oaks, the trickle of water, seeing mosses, lichens and mushrooms as autumn approaches. In spring, the greenery intensifies; in autumn, colours capture the heart; in winter, silence reigns.
It’s not just about walking, but feeling: pausing by a spring, inhaling the earth’s humidity, looking up and discovering the sky between the branches. It’s a reconnection experience that recharges your energy and resets your inner rhythm.
