Pedraforca, Mountain peak in Catalonia, Spain
The Pedraforca mountain rises to 2506 meters with two parallel ridges connected by a col at 2356 meters in the Pre-Pyrenees range.
The mountain area contains archaeological remains from the Neolithic period, including the Molers dolmen near the limestone formations.
The mountain name originates from Catalan words 'pedra' for stone and 'forca' for fork, reflecting its characteristic double-peak shape.
Visitors can access hiking trails from both Saldes and Gósol villages, with a marked path leading through forest sections to reach the summit.
The limestone composition of Pedraforca creates specific geological formations with sedimentary layers dating from the Eocene and Oligocene periods.
