Collsacabra

Collsacabra is a mountain range in northeastern Catalonia featuring limestone cliffs and dense oak forests. Its varied trails pass through different landscapes and elevations throughout the terrain.

The area gained protected status in 1992 through Catalan legislation aimed at preserving its geological formations. This decision marked the start of organized conservation for its natural features.

Hikers and climbers treat these paths like a second home, moving through the landscape with a sense of belonging. Small towns nearby maintain their own traditions and celebrations that keep them tied to this mountain range.

Trails here suit different fitness levels, ranging from easy walks to demanding ascents and descents. Bring proper footwear and water, and check weather conditions before heading out.

During dry periods, the submerged Sant Romà de Sau village becomes visible, revealing a church spire among the ruins. This unexpected sight shows what lies beneath the Sau reservoir's surface.
