Espai Natural de les Guilleries-Savassona

The Espai Natural de les Guilleries-Savassona is a protected area in Osona featuring dense forests, open meadows, and cultivated land positioned between two mountain ranges. The territory includes marked trails that lead to several viewpoints and natural attractions scattered across the landscape.

The area gained official protected status in 1992 through a regional plan designed to prevent urban development. This designation aimed to preserve the existing natural habitats and traditional land use patterns for the future.

The region reflects generations of agricultural and forest management practices that have shaped how the land looks today. Visitors can see this connection between people and nature in the maintained forests and fields throughout the area.

The area is best explored on foot using the established hiking trails that wind through forests and meadows. The ideal time to visit is spring or autumn when temperatures are mild and the paths remain in good condition.

The territory contains pre-Romanesque structures and ancient burial sites with anthropomorphic tombs carved directly into rock faces. These archaeological remains suggest human settlement in this mountain region stretches back many centuries.
