Lake Banyoles

Highlight • Lake

Lake Banyoles is the largest non-coastal pond, and whose water springs naturally, in Catalonia. The lake is a classic cycling destination in Girona, since one of the province's greenways reaches the town of Banyoles, and it also has a bike lane that allows you to go around the lake.

The formation of the lake took place by the collapse of the upper layers of the subsoil, impermeable, inside the cavities that the water formed in the permeable rocks below it.

Lake Banyoles

Highlight • Lake

Lake of Banyoles is located in northeastern Catalonia, Spain and is the region's largest natural lake, covering approximately 1.575 square kilometers. Formed over 250,000 years ago due to tectonic activity, it is fed by subterranean channels with natural in/outflow. Surrounded by green hills the lake is a popular destination for rowing. The lake hosted the rowing competitions during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Its clear waters and scenic surroundings make it a favored spot for swimming, boating, and hiking.
