10. Montseny, the natural heart of Catalonia
In this tour we will discover the Montseny Natural Park: a massif full of forests of all kinds, with hidden botanical and faunal treasures. We will go up the beautiful Passavets fountain, climb a natural beech forest and and get to know the southernmost fir forest in Europe. Once on the bare ridge, we will climb the two most mythical summits of the massif: Turó de l'Home (1,706 m) and then after the scenic Serrat dels Pous, the charismatic Les Agudes peak (1,705 m). To conclude, we will come back literally swallowed by the immense bed of leaves of the beech forest.
