Corriol paral·lel al riu Congost, molt ombrívol, fresc i tota una alternativa per anar cap al Figaró des de la Garriga sense passar per l'autovia.

A real discovery! Superb views, decent asphalt and virtually no cars.

Simple and isolated chapel in the heart of Montseny, located on a plateau that served as a crossing point between farmhouses and forest paths. Documented since the Middle Ages, it was a stopping place for shepherds and charcoal burners who left small offerings there before crossing the pass. Remains of the old shelter and the terrace that was used to gather on days of gathering can still be seen. The access is short and quiet, and the surrounding silence keeps intact the atmosphere of a remote chapel that it has always had.

Parking is difficult in the area after 10:00. The area is beautiful and has great views. You can take a practically flat route (Collformic to the ruins of El Café, but it's not circular), a more challenging one like Matagalls. And many more!

Beautiful, even, climb. Definitely a great option from Montseny back towards Viladrau

Church of Sant Julià de Montseny.. Its existence is known to date back to the year 1004.. Its two-storey bell tower is the most inclined in the world, with a collapse of 77 cm. In 1757 a major renovation was started, which lasted more than 10 years. Subsequently, maintenance and conservation work was carried out.
