トゥレーリャスデロブレガットの天然記念物・トップ20

Hape Kerkeling, a well-known entertainer in the German-speaking world, wrote down some thoughts about a mystical experience (encounter with God) while traveling through Spain, which I would also like to offer to the viewer of this small sacred monument: "To encounter God, one must first extend an invitation to him, for he will not come uninvited. It is also a form of good manners. We have free choice. He builds an individual relationship with each person. Only someone who truly loves is capable of this." (Hape Kerkeling in "Ich bin dann mal weg")

La Morella is the second highest peak in the Garraf Massif after Montau (658 m), at 593.6 meters. It is located in the municipality of Begues, in the Baix Llobregat region. Its surroundings contain several chasms. There is also the tail of the old Garraf landfill, currently being restored. At the summit, we can find a geodesic vertex. The peak is included in the FEEC's list of the 100 peaks. A long-distance trail (GR 92 Mediterranean Trail) passes through this mountain peak, on its 21st stage from Bruguers to Garraf. It meets the local short-distance trail (SL-C 99), which is 6.1 km long, running from the Cal Ganxo Environmental Activities Center (Castelldefels) to La Morella. If we follow the GR 92 towards the town of Garraf, 3.5 km away we reach the La Pleta Information Centre in Garraf Park.

to relax and enjoy

To get to the top, I went along the Ratpenat road until a detour that goes there. The entire route is accessible by bike except for going up to the peak of the mountain, where you have to go downhill and push it along a complicated path, especially at the highest part. The views are worth it!!

A very good cycle path, with views of Barcelona

Puig de la Morella (594 m) is the highest point of the massif and we can see both the coastal side and the interior, the Llobregat deltaic plain, Collserola and the Marina mountain range. If you're lucky and it's a good day, let's see if you can identify the distant peaks of Pica d'Estats or Canigó. You have an interpretive panel to help you. You are still in the term of Begues. The GR that you have probably been following is the 92-del Mediterrani. Stage 21 from Bruguers to Garraf. If you follow the direction of Garraf, you will arrive in 40 minutes at La Pleta where there is the modernist farmhouse, the offices and the information center of the park. You are in one of the most important karst areas in Catalonia. Its appearance, in contrast with nearby mountain ranges on the other side of the Llobregat, has nothing to do with the climate but with the edaphic and geological characteristics. For the same reasons we will find unique specimens, both flora and fauna. From the margallo to the population of bats that live in the more than 400 cavities found. In 1992, the Garraf was included in the Areas of Natural Interest Plan (PEIN) of the Generalitat. The park is currently part of the Natural Spaces Network promoted and managed by the Barcelona Provincial Council and covers an area of nearly 12,400 hectares. At the top is a monstrous white geodesic vertex of all sorts of gallifardeus. Peak included in the list of 100 peaks of the F.E.E.C. https://www.feec.cat/activitats/100-cims/cim/la-morella/

Exuberant and shady corner where we will definitely forget that we are close to Barcelona. We are in one of those spaces that alone justify a trip. The stream forms a small jump thanks to an artificial lock built in the s. XIX that brought water from the stream through a pipe, which we can still see on one side of the jump, to the Can Planes mill. We can go down to the small pond that forms the caient, where, in the summer, the little ones can still take a bath. El Salt is surrounded by lush and shady vegetation, with bananas, oaks and oaks that bring freshness in the summer. It is one of the most crowded places in Collserola due to its proximity and ease of access.

With the 🚴‍♂️ going up rat penat and going down through begues behind the ball, I only got off at the morella and bike on my back, then lowered it but it is the highest point of the garraf (in buegues the mountain that does not belong if it would not be higher ) Spectacular views from La Morella
