バジェス・オリエンタルの滝・トップ14

Passeig i camí que segueix la carretera i riera de Vallcàrquera, zona ombrívola i fresca a l'estiu, freda a l'hivern.

Waterfall encased in rough rock and an old flour mill documented since the 18th century, taking advantage of the constant force of the Llobeta stream. In addition to what everyone says, there is a little-mentioned detail here: the mill had a small auxiliary lock up the road that allowed the flow to be regulated so that the mill would not stop in dry summers. Remains of the canal and the hole where the wood of the old roller was repaired can still be seen. The path is short and cool, and the constant sound of the water explains why this corner was so valuable to the farmers of the entire valley.

The riera de Martinet is a watercourse, tributary on the left of the Gorge. It is born near the Brull, in the Massís del Montseny. During its first kilometers it is called torrent de l'Estanyol.

Especially if it has rained, it is spectacular

Beautiful path that follows the course of the stream, it even has a small waterfall.

idyllic location, you can breathe peace

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.

Located in the Montsenyen half of the municipality, included in the Montseny Natural Park, it covers a large part of the Vallcàrquera valley, drained by the stream that bears the same name, at the foot of the Tagamanent hill. It runs along the southernmost slope of the Vall de Vallcàrquera to cross the tramuntana side at the Pont de la Font del Molí, and descend more or less steeply to Can Bosc to end up flowing into the Gorge in the section known as the creek The Vallcàrquera valley is a territory with a humid Mediterranean character where the vegetation is basically coastal and mountain oak. Despite this, the accentuated relief and the geological diversity of the municipality, together with the several permanent watercourses, have made Figaró one of the municipalities with a diversity of the most remarkable plant communities in the Vallès.
