マシスデルモンセニーの滝・トップ5

This photo is not of the Font del Prat, it's of the Font de la Marianegre, or as it's known by the locals, the Font dels Quatre Ratjos. "The Fountain of the Four Spouts" "The Fountain of the Four Spouts"

Font d'En Prat, Mara Negra, or La font dels 4 ratjos... A true ecological disaster. They've cut down all the centuries-old fir trees in the area... Let's forget about the shade and charm of the fountain... 😭😭 If we compare photos of the fountain... we'll see the difference... From a place where the summer sun could barely penetrate... to an image of the fountain looking like a desert... 🥵

This is the first jump in the stream, prior to the hydroelectric plant. It is about 10 meters high and is probably the most beautiful waterfall in Montseny. It's not too easy to get there and it's quite hidden, but it's worth the effort. It is sometimes confused with a smaller previous jump, called Salt de Corbera.

For me the most beautiful waterfall in this area of Montseny. It's not too easy to get there but it's worth the effort

On the way to the town of Gualba, half hidden in the forest, we find a waterfall that, when falling, forms a very deep well, which is called the Gorg Negre. Legend has it that, in the past, in the municipality of Gualba there were often strong storms that ruined those regions, destroying fields and forests. Some storms, they explain, that formed above the Black gorg and that, a few hours before, the waters of the Black gorg stirred and made a strange rumor until some mists rose that formed a black cloud at the summit. Already many years before, it was known that witches and warlocks lived in the Black gorg, and it was believed that all storm sickness was caused by those people. It was then that the rector of Gualba and all his parishioners went in procession to the Black gorg, and the rector is going to sprinkle holy water to force the witches and warlocks to live fermats at the bottom of the water, and he ordered a cross to be planted at the top of the mountain where the cloud was formed. And it seems that since then, the municipality of Gualba has always been freer from those great storms.

It is a fairly large pool, with a narrow and long waterfall and another important pool below. Something wild and amazing.

Fresh water on the way :-)

Very good and cold water ... 👍
