Simple and isolated chapel in the heart of Montseny, located on a plateau that served as a crossing point between farmhouses and forest paths. Documented since the Middle Ages, it was a stopping place for shepherds and charcoal burners who left small offerings there before crossing the pass. Remains of the old shelter and the terrace that was used to gather on days of gathering can still be seen. The access is short and quiet, and the surrounding silence keeps intact the atmosphere of a remote chapel that it has always had.

A small, medieval church situated on a plateau with fine views over the forest and the old shepherds' paths. Beyond its usual features, it has a little-known detail: for years it hosted brief retreats for local hermits, and small marks remain on the rock where they placed oil lamps on cold nights. The access is short and straightforward, and the place retains that secluded tranquility that has always served as a place to pause for a moment before continuing on one's way.

Besides being a regular stop for refilling water bottles, it has a little-known detail: it used to serve as a relay point for the pack animals, who would change their pack animals here before tackling the mountain pass. The courtyard still retains the old loading area, now converted into a terrace. It offers direct access from the track and is ideal as a regrouping point: there's always a bit of a breeze, shade is guaranteed, and it's one of those places where a biker is bound to pass by sooner or later.

It's best to call and make a reservation to ensure it's open and you can eat, as it's not always open.

Currently, in 2025, it's open from Thursday to Sunday, and it's best to call ahead.

Santa Fe, a supply point (there are few nearby), a restaurant, and a beautiful area

In a shadowy corner of the forest, the Font del Frare springs forth from roots and stone. Its name recalls an old hermit who, according to legend, lived nearby and offered water to travelers. The metal spout barely protrudes from the moss-covered wall, and the water falls slowly, cold and clear. On quiet days, only the trickle and the distant birdsong can be heard. A discreet spot, yet with a restful spirit.

Built between 1912 and 1914 for the publisher Ramón de Montaner in the heart of the Vall de Santa Fe, this gray and pink granite building has the appearance of a neo-medieval castle with towers, gargoyles, and battlements. During its construction, a dam was built on the stream to provide electricity to the hotel, a gesture that demonstrates the ambition of the project and its integration into the landscape of the Montseny Natural Park. Now, as you walk past the porch, you can imagine evenings from the Belle Époque, the sound of the dam's machinery, and the murmur of the forest reclaiming its space.
