The Ferro i Carbó (del Hierro y del Carbón) greenway, so named in reference to the important tradition of forges in the Baix Ripollès and the extraction of coal in the mines of Ogassa, is the old route of the railway. The initial 12 kilometers of road (and the current 18 km) have become the ideal route to enjoy a walk or bike ride and contact an industrial past of which we are heirs. The Sant Joan de les Abadesses-Toralles railway section operated until the closing of the mines, in 1967. The Sant Joan de les Abadesses-Ripoll section, on the other hand, remained active until the year of its centenary, in 1980.

In 2022 the route was extended, giving continuity to the greenway up to Sant Pau de Segúries. The path from Sant Joan de les Abadesses to Toralles has remained as a complementary route, and connects with Sant Pau de Segúries from Sant Joan de les Abadesses.

The section Ripoll - Sant Joan de les Abadesses - Toralles is part of the network of Natural Paths in Spain, and is included in the "Programa de Caminos Naturales" developed since 1993 by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Food. Info Natural Paths Program.
