The best MTB trails around Fogars De Montclús

Simple and isolated chapel in the heart of Montseny, located on a plateau that served as a crossing point between farmhouses and forest paths. Documented since the Middle Ages, it was a stopping place for shepherds and charcoal burners who left small offerings there before crossing the pass. Remains of the old shelter and the terrace that was used to gather on days of gathering can still be seen. The access is short and quiet, and the surrounding silence keeps intact the atmosphere of a remote chapel that it has always had.

A simple landmark erected in a clearing in Montseny to commemorate a beloved local resident, deeply connected to the forest and the paths he helped maintain. A little-known detail: the monolith was placed at a spot where Barbena used to stop to check the condition of the trail and, according to locals, he would often leave tools there so anyone could repair minor damage to the path. Direct access and a quiet setting, a place that preserves the spirit of those who cared for the mountain with their own hands and without making a fuss.

Besides being a regular stop for refilling water bottles, it has a little-known detail: it used to serve as a relay point for the pack animals, who would change their pack animals here before tackling the mountain pass. The courtyard still retains the old loading area, now converted into a terrace. It offers direct access from the track and is ideal as a regrouping point: there's always a bit of a breeze, shade is guaranteed, and it's one of those places where a biker is bound to pass by sooner or later.

It's best to call and make a reservation to ensure it's open and you can eat, as it's not always open.

Currently, in 2025, it's open from Thursday to Sunday, and it's best to call ahead.

The town hall of Santa Maria de Palautordera originated from an old project dating back to the late 19th century, shelved due to lack of funds, which finally came to fruition in 1928-29 under the design of architect Josep Domènech i Mansana. Built in three sections with a clock tower, the building was not only the administrative heart of the municipality but also a symbol of the new urban spirit of the Tordera Valley. When you pass through the Plaça de la Vila, pause for a moment before its façade: imagine the tranquility of the town in 1929, the sound of chisels and machinery, and the promise of modernity that this building represented for the local community.

A small hillock covered in pines and scrubland, offering a commanding view of much of the valley. Its name, some say, comes from the shape of the rock at the summit, which resembles a huge molar emerging from the earth. On clear days, the horizon opens up towards Montseny and the sea, and when the tramontana wind blows, the rustling of the trees sounds like a green sea. A discreet spot, yet with the soul of a viewpoint.
