Sauva Negra, Protected forest area in Castellcir and Centelles, Spain.
Sauva Negra is a protected forest spanning multiple municipalities with both deciduous and coniferous trees creating dense woodland coverage. The terrain features varied topography where paths wind through the trees and clearings appear throughout the landscape.
The forest has preserved its natural character across centuries, functioning as a green corridor allowing wildlife to move between different Catalan regions. This role as a migration pathway has defined its importance for regional conservation.
The name refers to the dark canopy created by the dense tree cover throughout the woodland. Local residents have long valued this space as a retreat and source of natural resources.
Multiple entry points provide access to the forest with marked trails connecting different sections of the protected area. Wearing sturdy shoes and allowing extra time for navigation through the woodland is advisable for most visitors.
Natural springs and water sources throughout the forest have supplied local communities with mineral-rich water for generations. These hidden water reserves serve as an important supply for the surrounding region.
