Sant Martí de Montnegre Una església aïllada dins del Parc Natural del Montnegre, de gran valor per la seva integració en el paisatge forestal. És un punt de referència en les rutes de l'interior.

Sant Andreu del Far Església de nau única orientada de llevant a ponent, amb absis de planta poligonal, amb contraforts laterals i a les arestes. Té dues capelles laterals adossades, a manera de creuer. La nau és coberta amb tres voltes per aresta gòtica, amb nervis de pedra granítica, i totes les claus de volta estan esculpides, igual que les mènsules d’arrencada dels nervis, les quals representen caps humans. La coberta de la nau és de teula àrab a dues vessants, acabades amb una senzilla imbricació de teula i maó. Les façanes són de paredat comú i arrebossades, i les zones angulars de grossos carreus ben tallats. Font: Ajuntament de Dosrius

It was a medieval bridge that was partially destroyed in 1811 during the Peninsular War. It remained broken for almost two centuries, hence its name. In 2003, it was restored, combining the historical remains with a modern walkway, without being completely rebuilt, which makes it unique: a blend of medieval ruin and contemporary architecture. Today, it's a must-see for cyclists in the area, not only for the convenience of crossing the Tordera River, but also because it's impressive to see a broken bridge still serving its purpose. And in the background, Montseny.

A monumental tree planted when the estate still functioned as a fortified house, and what's less known is that for decades it served as a landmark for the farmers and charcoal burners of the valley: "If you see the cedar, you're already close to Can Valls." Its exaggerated size is no accident: it was used to break the wind that came down from Montseny and protect the crops in the orchards. It still bears old marks from metal fastenings where tools or work ropes were hung. A discreet giant with a true farmhouse history.

A classic stop for cyclists in the Maresme region, located on an old farmhouse that served as a refueling point for tenant farmers and woodcutters long before mountain bike routes existed. What's less known is that this was once where carts transporting coal from Montnegre gathered, which explains the wide open area: it was a true turning point. For today's biker, it means one thing: air, shade, water, and space to breathe before deciding whether to head towards Turó Gros, Hortsavinyà, or the trails that descend towards Tordera. A useful stop in the heart of the mountains, with that old-house atmosphere where cyclists always seem to end up passing by.

Used to store and distribute ice to the surrounding farms and villages before the arrival of modern refrigeration. In winter, compacted snow would accumulate there, and in summer it would only be opened at dawn to prevent loss of cold. The thick walls and reinforced access hatch can still be seen. The place is quiet and easy to get to, a clear reminder of how ice was managed in the middle of the mountains when machines and electricity did not yet exist.

Its popular name simply stems from the fact that, for decades, it was a regular meeting place for local couples in the late afternoon, enjoying the cool air. Access is very easy, and the surroundings maintain the tranquil and discreet atmosphere that has always characterized it.
