라 비스발 델 페네데스 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

hiking boots recommended

There is a small bridge and a very nice sign, but now the sign has been broken and the wooden bridge has fallen over time, it is no longer like in the photos, I do not recommend this part, but the route is very fun, narrow and wooded.

Church of Sant Miquel and of the Mare de Déu del Remei (19th century, neoclassical, BCIL IPA-5385, located at Carrer Major 12, La Juncosa del Montmell) New Church of Sant Miquel (consecrated in 1598, now in ruins with a semicircular arch facade, rose window and tower, located at Carrer de l’Església 7) Old Romanesque Church of Sant Miquel (11th–12th century, with Lombard apse, restored in 1953, on a high esplanade at 781 m) Hermitage of Sant Marc (documented in 1338, with Romanesque and Gothic remains, located on the hillside at 711 m between the old church and the castle) Montmell Castle (medieval remains at the top, large viewpoint over the Penedès).

The Coll de l’Arca is the mountain pass that connects Joncosa del Montmell with Aiguaviva. Until a few years ago it was just a difficult track, but now with the paved road it has become a key point that gives life to both towns. From here begins the descent to Aiguaviva, fast and panoramic, ideal to enjoy it on MTB. In addition to the pass, the col is a connection point with routes to Cova Gran and other interesting paths that cross the mountain range. It is a perfect place to stop for a moment, breathe and decide where to continue, with the feeling of being in the heart of Montmell.

The Castellot del Montmell hermitage, dedicated to Sant Miquel, is a small Romanesque gem from the 11th century located just below the remains of the castle. Despite its simple and half-ruined state, it still preserves part of the apse and the original walls, which speak of a time when this was the spiritual and defensive center of the area. Getting there by MTB is quite a challenge: the path is stony and with very steep sections, and you almost always have to walk the last few meters. But once at the top, the view compensates for any effort - with the entire Montmell mountain range at your feet, the open Penedès and, on clear days, the sea line in the background. The hermitage, despite its condition, transmits silence and history, as if it were still watching over the ruins of the castle.

Only for the brave

Very nice climb especially the last 150 meters 👍💪

This is a large, rocky and sometimes difficult trail. It is narrow and wooded. First it goes along the train tracks to Roca Aguilera. If we continue climbing we will reach Puig Claper. Great views all the way.
