Gola del Ter

Gola del Ter is the point where the Ter river reaches the Mediterranean coast, creating a unique landscape where freshwater meets saltwater. The area is surrounded by forests and stretches over several kilometers along the Costa Brava.

The Ter river system formed through natural geological processes over millions of years and shaped the landscape of the region. Over time, the river mouth became an important location for local trade and fishing activities.

The natural reserve surrounding the river mouth is home to native plant species and provides a protected space for local birds to live and breed. Visitors can observe various species that benefit from the proximity of freshwater and sea.

Access is through a forest path about 4 kilometers long starting from Torroella de Montgrí, suitable for hikers and cyclists. The path is passable in all seasons but can become slippery in wet weather.

On certain days, visitors can watch the sunset over the river mouth and moonrise over the sea at the same time, a rare natural spectacle. This phenomenon occurs only during certain seasons and creates an extraordinary photographic moment.
