Foradada de Cantonigròs, Natural waterfall in Osona, Spain
Foradada de Cantonigròs is a waterfall in the Osona region where water plunges through a distinctive natural opening in limestone rock, creating a stone arch formation above the falling stream. The cascade drops into a ravine that has been carved by the flowing water over countless ages.
This waterfall formed thousands of years ago as flowing water began eroding through limestone layers and gradually created the distinctive opening. The ongoing process of water erosion continued to shape the Osona landscape over millennia.
The name Foradada refers to a bored-through hole in Catalan, describing the distinctive opening in the rock face where water cascades through.
The site is reached by hiking trails that start from Cantonigròs and wind through varied terrain to the waterfall. Wear sturdy footwear as the paths can be wet and slippery, especially during wetter seasons.
During winter the waterfall freezes into an icy cascade, with ice formations altering how the structure appears to visitors. This seasonal transformation creates a completely different visual experience with each visit.
