Of small dimension, it is fantastic for a moment of relaxation, easily accessible, although it is not cyclable... you can leave the bike about 50 Mtr. Further back
And enjoy a glorious moment 🏞️🤩

After the "Jana" storm, on March 16, 2025, its flow was abundant 💧 Giving rise to these mini waterfalls, worthy of contemplation...

This is the first jump in the stream, prior to the hydroelectric plant. It is about 10 meters high and is probably the most beautiful waterfall in Montseny. It's not too easy to get there and it's quite hidden, but it's worth the effort. It is sometimes confused with a smaller previous jump, called Salt de Corbera.

On the way to the town of Gualba, half hidden in the forest, we find a waterfall that, when falling, forms a very deep well, which is called the Gorg Negre. Legend has it that, in the past, in the municipality of Gualba there were often strong storms that ruined those regions, destroying fields and forests. Some storms, they explain, that formed above the Black gorg and that, a few hours before, the waters of the Black gorg stirred and made a strange rumor until some mists rose that formed a black cloud at the summit. Already many years before, it was known that witches and warlocks lived in the Black gorg, and it was believed that all storm sickness was caused by those people. It was then that the rector of Gualba and all his parishioners went in procession to the Black gorg, and the rector is going to sprinkle holy water to force the witches and warlocks to live fermats at the bottom of the water, and he ordered a cross to be planted at the top of the mountain where the cloud was formed. And it seems that since then, the municipality of Gualba has always been freer from those great storms.
