라 로카 델 발레스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 호수

Beyond the green and open route that everyone knows, this space occupies old areas of cultivation and wet meadows that, until the 1970s, served as pasture for the livestock of several farmhouses in the area. Even today, under some unevenness in the terrain, you can sense the old layout of the fields and dry stone banks. During its construction, some traditional water channels were respected, which continue to drain part of the subsoil. Access is easy and the environment maintains that combination of plain and forest typical of the foot of Montseny. A place where the agricultural past still rears its head if you pay a little attention.

A small oasis nestled among fields and pines, where the still water reflects the sky like a mirror broken by frogs. This pond, once used for irrigation and livestock watering, has become a natural refuge for birds, dragonflies, and turtles. On calm days, only the buzzing of insects and the splashing of the occasional stray toad can be heard. A humble corner, yet teeming with life.

Good park, both in summer and winter

GOOD track, recommended for outdoor sports, and for all audiences 👍

Path that borders and passes near the Golf course of La Garriga, between the Pla de Llerona road and the River Congost river path.

Trying to use the bins, the last time I visited it was embarrassing, if we continue like this we will end up in a landfill with Ducks and Geese. Where is the City Hall in these cases????

It is formed by a belt of mountains, hills and serrados from the so-called Pla de la Calma to Cuch, among which we can highlight Roca Centella, Mojó, Turó Monner, Puig del Sui (with 1322 m. altitude), Turó de Cuch (where the termini of Cánoves, Tagamanent, Montseny and San Pedro de Vilamajor face each other), and the Sierra de los Vallestrins, in the center of which stands the farmhouse of Vallforners, half fortress, half forest house, on the way of the Pla de la Calma, built by Señor de Tagamanent and restored by his son, Dalmau de Rocabertí, from the family of the counts of Peralada, in 1610.

The reservoir is 1.1 km long, with a capacity of 2.3 hm³, capable of irrigating up to 500 hectares of crops and supplying water to the extraordinary consumption of Cánoves and Cardedeu. Nearby is the Can Cuc chestnut tree, a monumental tree with a diameter of 14 m and a height of 15 m. Inside it is said that a charcoal burner once lived. The reservoir can store 2,300,000 m³ of water, which allows it to irrigate 500 ha. of crops, and even, extraordinary consumption of the populations of Cánoves and Cardedeu. For this reason, the municipalities of the two towns are part of the Irrigation Community.
