The hiking trail ends at a charming natural pool with a waterfall hidden behind a hole in a rock.
Spain boasts a magnificent natural landscape, and throughout the country, you can find places that, more than reality, seem like something out of a painting. In Catalonia, you can find thousands of these bucolic spots, although some are hidden and few manage to discover them. If you had to explore just one of these places, it would undoubtedly have to be the sublime Foradada de Cantonigròs, in the province of Barcelona.
This natural spectacle is located in the heart of the Osona region, and its impressive waterfall gives the surroundings a picture-postcard appearance that amazes all who approach it via a magnificent hiking trail that ends in this paradise. The path to the waterfall and its extraordinary natural pool is equally stunning, making it an ideal day trip from Barcelona.
The fantastic route to the Foradada de Cantonigròs
La Foradada de Cantonigròs is a spectacular waterfall about 15 meters high, located a short distance from the village of the same name. Nestled in the Collsacabra Natural Area, this idyllic spot is hidden among imposing rock walls that give the whole place a clandestine feel, which only enhances the magic of this incredible waterfall.
But if there's one thing that catches the attention of all the curious who come to the waterfall, it's undoubtedly the large hole in one of the rocks that shelters both the waterfall and its fascinating natural pool. This enormous hole envelops the entire place with a striking mysticism, turning this spot near Rupit and Pruït into a treasure that can only be reached via an extraordinary route.
To reach the Foradada de Cantonigròs, you must follow a hiking trail that costs 2.50 euros. Local authorities restrict access to the trail to preserve the environment (therefore, swimming in its natural pool is not permitted ). This easy trail of just four kilometers takes just an hour to complete and begins in the town of Cantonigròs itself.
Nature lovers who complete this route and reach the waterfall will be completely amazed by the beauty of the landscapes they pass through. Therefore, it's one of the best options for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Barcelona and enjoy a completely magical place just an hour and a half from the Catalan capital.
