Gorg Negre Waterfall
Highlight • Waterfall
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.

The last meters to get to the Gorg, if you go by bike 🚲
You will have to carry it 😅 since it is not suitable for rolling..!!
