벨프랫‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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 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!!

Highest point of Garraf. Peak with a lot of wind. But with 360 degree views

Access to one of the weather balls/radar

Highest point of Garraf.

Mountain that is located in the old middle of the Garraf Natural Park and on a clear day, you can even see views of Montserrat mountain.

Small peak, near a quarry, where a series of rural roads converge. This is a typical area of the Penedès with extensive fields of vineyards interspersed with scattered farmhouses where you can also appreciate old quarries. From the top, if the vegetation allows us, you can see from Montserrat, la Mola, la Morella, el Montmell, el Montau and el Puig de l'Àliga, among others. As can be read on a small panel at the top, the Toponym derives from the word "popia", which in the geographical vocabulary of the popular language designates a hill of low height, with a regularly rounded shape and a wide base: the shape of the chest of 'a woman. The word "Papiol" derives from this metaphor. The name is already documented in 992 as the boundary of Viladellops (Olèrdola). Essential peak included in the list of 100 peaks of the F.E.E.C. https://www.feec.cat/activitats/100-cims/cim/penya-del-papiol/
