Serra del Verd, protected area in Spain
Serra del Verd is a limestone mountain chain at the border of Berguedà, Alt Urgell, and Solsonès regions, with its highest peak at Cap del Verd reaching about 2.288 meters. The landscape shows steep slopes, rocky ridges, and limestone formations that span more than 6 kilometers.
Serra del Verd was shaped by water and wind over thousands of years, showing today caves and sinkholes that reflect this geological process. The region has long served as a source of wood and livestock, and continues to support the economic life of nearby communities.
Serra del Verd forms a natural border between three regions and has long served as grazing land for local herds. The shepherds and farmers who work the slopes maintain traditions that shape the life of nearby villages even today.
Access is from villages like Gósol via various hiking trails that run along ridges and valleys. Visitors should prepare for weather that changes quickly and bring sturdy gear, as the terrain is rough and exposed.
Serra del Verd acts as a vital corridor connecting different mountain regions, allowing wildlife to move freely between Serra del Cadí, Pedraforca, and other nearby peaks. This biological link makes it essential for regional biodiversity.
