Sau Dam

Highlight • Lake

The Sau reservoir is a Spanish hydraulic infrastructure built on the Ter river, located in the municipality of Vilanova de Sau, at the foot of the Guilleries massif, in the Osona region, province of Barcelona, Catalonia.

It is part of a system of three reservoirs, together with those of Susqueda and Pasteral, which joins the counties of Osona and La Selva. The reservoir, inaugurated in 1962, covered the town of San Román de Sau, the remains of which, especially the bell tower of the temple, are visible when the water level is low and, even in times of prolonged drought, the town is left to the discovered and it is possible to visit it.

The church of the Sau swamp is registered as the oldest in the world that is preserved standing in the water. [2] This is confirmed by a study promoted by the international entity of world record records Official World Record with the collaboration of a research group from the University of Barcelona in the year 2021.

Viewpoint of the Ter River and Susqueda Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

The views from the Ter viewpoint are truly amazing. You will be able to see a panoramic view of the meander of the Ter. Personally, I think this is the best viewpoint of the River Ter.

View of Susqueda Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Although there is a viewpoint or the reservoir before it, from here you can see the height of the water in the reservoir very well. Today it is not 100% but it is not far off. Will we see the fullness before summer? I hope that at least it will remain that way until the next rainy season!
