A little-known detail: before the current parking lot existed, many residents of Arbúcies would come up here to check if Montsoriu was illuminated at dusk, a sign that there were visitors or work being done at the fortress. The access is short and straightforward, and the panoramic view—with the castle silhouetted against the Montseny mountain range—is one that justifies stopping even if you're in a hurry.

It is not a typical viewpoint, but along the track you can look back and see perfectly the square base of Monsoriu Castle with the Guaita Tower presiding over it.
