Dating back to 1286, this bridge helped improve communications between Berga and the monastery of Sant Pere de la Portella. At first the bridge was made of wood, but a short time later it was rebuilt in stone and in the Gothic style. The central ogive as seen now was added in the 15th century. This bridge is a magnificent example of medieval "cornered" or "donkey's back" bridges, with its central part raised, thus allowing a wider central arch that allows greater water flow. Three smaller ones are added to the sides, two to the right and one to the left, semicircular, somewhat irregular and lowered. The bridge has undergone repairs and reconstructions over time due to floods, and in the 17th and 18th centuries the road was paved with boulders and a stone railing was added.

The Pedret Bridge is a bridge of about 80 m in length, of medieval origin, over the Llobregat river. It served to unite the town of Berga with the church of Sant Quirze de Pedret and is documented in the year 1286. It is in the Gothic style and consists of four arches, although initially it had five, of unequal sizes: the central arch is pointed and much higher than the others, the rest are smaller, two semicircular, lowered, and a third pointed arch. Near the bridge, and dug into the rock, there is a series of rounded holes that correspond to the sockets of the wooden beams that supported an old Romanesque bridge. It is advisable to go up the old path nearby that leads to the church of Sant Quirze de Pedret, and visit it. It is one of the best preserved examples of pre-Romanesque religious architecture in Catalonia, built in the Carolingian period (9th-10th centuries).

This church is a Romanesque construction from the middle of the 12th century. I think the original altar is in the MNAC in Barcelona. This is a place to see on a hike or mountain bike in this area.

The Pedret Bridge is a medieval bridge over the Llobregat river, in the municipality of Cercs, three kilometers from the center of Berga. The bridge and the holes underneath are two works included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia independently. Under the Gothic bridge of Pedret there are a large number of holes that correspond to different medieval constructions. A first series of thirty holes placed parallel and crossing the river on both sides. They could be the holes into which the beams supporting a wooden bridge built in the Romanesque period were fitted. A little further away from this first clearly differentiated group, we find another series of 12, 51 and 22 more holes that seem to correspond to one confined to a medieval mill from the late 10th century or early 11th century. They were used to house the beams of a rustic wooden lock. Near these holes there are remains of what should have been a canalization or irrigation. In this place there was a flour mill in the 17th and 18th centuries, of which there are no remains today because the successive railway works have destroyed them.

The gravel connection to the northern side has improved a lot. It's still very rough gravel. But rideable the whole way down on a road bike.

Cardona is a medieval town with a well-preserved castle complex. In the city center there are numerous restaurants and tapas bars. Salt also plays an important role in Cardona.

It is possible to continue through the gravel path, if you want to connect with the northern road to make loop, instead of just going back down. It's rough gravel/stones, so you may have to pull the bike for a bit and/or ride on the grass next to the cows. But after a bit of descenting in this mess, you are connected back on the northern side to an area with beautiful landscape.

There's a huge network of gravel roads in this region. Dry, sandy and rocky, they're more undulating than the huge mountain gravel roads, and perhaps a bit more fun!

A fantastic road descent to Berga town from up here!
