포가르 드 몽클루스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 동굴

A viewpoint with stunning views of Montsoriu Castle, Montnegre mountain, and even the sea. It can be reached by paved road from Coll de n’Orri or by forest track from Riells.

It is not a typical viewpoint, but along the track you can look back and see perfectly the square base of Monsoriu Castle with the Guaita Tower presiding over it.

Considered one of the most powerful in medieval Catalonia, but there is a little-known detail: on the hill there was a system of cisterns and underground channels that collected rainwater and brought it to the inner courtyard, which was essential because there is no fountain at the top. Remains of ceramic kilns used during the expansion works in the 14th century have also been found, indicating that some of the material was manufactured directly on the mountain to avoid endless climbs with pack animals. All of this fits with its function as a control center for Montseny, visible from many points, with the Repiaix stream rising on its slopes and the geodesic vertex crowning it. A truly strategic peak.

A little-known detail: before the current parking lot existed, many residents of Arbúcies would come up here to check if Montsoriu was illuminated at dusk, a sign that there were visitors or work being done at the fortress. The access is short and straightforward, and the panoramic view—with the castle silhouetted against the Montseny mountain range—is one that justifies stopping even if you're in a hurry.

You will find all the necessary information at the Arbúcies museum

great easy route and great panoramic views great guided view with nice explanation

place that is part of the Serrallonga Bandits route

I recommend a guided tour; it's free! And it's packed with history and interesting information. In addition to enjoying 360° views of Montseny, Montnegre, Collserola, Tibidabo, and Blanes, strategic points, it's also listed as the largest and best-designed fortress in Catalonia. It belongs to the Governor of Cabrera, specifically to Bernat II of Cabrera. Gothic in style, with a major restoration that has been going on for over 30 years, and to this day, work continues to restore this great fortress... Castell de Montsoriu 🏰
