(English) 5 Routes for Discovering the Landscapes of the Berguedá Region

The Berguedá region takes in more than a thousand square kilometres and the entire essence of the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees region. The landscape is marked by three key elements – water, limestone rock and vegetation – combined in different proportions to give the very best picture of this part of the Barcelona province. The northern area is characterised by lower mountains surrounding the river Llobregat. To the south, the rivers have carved out a more rugged landscape of their own from the high mountains. Both areas combined create an extraordinary landscape where you’ll discover the charms of Berguedá and can enjoy various sports and outdoor activities.

Berguedá is the perfect destination for enjoying nature tourism. Its varied landscape is adapted to the needs of each and every visitor, with possibilities for everyone. To the south, routes are particularly suited tomore experienced hikers, while the northern range offers walks that are more suitable for recreation and family outings. All allow you to experience a living environment that breathes to the rhythm of the flora and fauna in the Cadi-Moixeró Nature Park.
