The best cycling routes around Sant Feliu Sasserra

Sanctuary of the Munts, viewpoint of Osona and Lluçanés, spectacular views.

The church of Santa Creu de Jutglar is located in the nucleus of the same number, part of the municipality of Olost, in the Catalan region of Lluçanès. It is a building with a single nave and a rectangular plan with an adjacent bell tower of a square plan. It is documented for the first time in the year 984, as a dependency of the church of Santa Maria d'Olost. The annual meeting of the Lluçanès Council of Jurors was held in this church, a council made up of representatives from all the parishes that were part of the Lluçanès Subvegería.

The center of Santa Eulàlia de Puig-Oriol belongs to the municipality of Lluçà and is located on the ridge that separates the valley of the Gavarresa river from the valley of the Lluçanès river. The town grew from the first constructions in the 18th century, due to the importance of the transhumance route that connected Sant Feliu Sasserra with Alpens. In many of its houses built between the 18th and 19th centuries you can still read the inscriptions and dates engraved in the stone. At the northern end of the town there is a small parish church in the popular baroque style.

The church of Santa María de Merlès, in the Berguedà region, is a 17th century construction in the Baroque style. The bell tower of the church is visible from afar and seems to welcome the walkers passing through the village.

This 26-kilometre-long ditch that carries water to Manresa was built in the 14th century by the master Guillem Catà. Its construction was highly problematic, as the Bishop of Vic opposed its construction because it passed through the bishopric's land and threatened its promoters with excommunication. The bishop died before the works were finished and even so he really excommunicated the workers and the councilors of Manresa, in addition to interrupting the practice of the sacraments throughout the city. The bishop's successor maintained a more dialogue attitude, accepting the compensation offered by the city. However, legend has it that divine intervention became necessary, in the form of a mysterious light from Montserrat that entered through the stained glass windows of the Carmen church, at the same time that the bells began to ring by themselves. The bishop, seeing this phenomenon, regretted his position, but died shortly after, and his successor did not take long to reverse the situation and lift the excommunication.

Lluçà is a small municipality located in the Osana region, specifically on the Lluçanès plateau. Set in a beautiful natural environment, the town stands out for its medieval heritage consisting of a beautiful monastery, a Romanesque hermitage with a round plant and the ruins of a castle.

Small church with a beautiful garden, a good place to find shade and rest.

Santa Eulàlia de Pardines dates from the year 915 but nothing really remains of that original church. Most of what we see today was built in the 1790s. This is another very interesting place to visit while hiking in this area.
