On 30 January, the annual Tourdera project monitoring and coordination committee was held in the municipality of Fogars de Montclús. This meeting brings together the 18 municipalities participating in the project to review the actions carried out during the year and discuss the main current and future issues affecting the route.
Fogars de Montclús
Modification of the route in the municipality of Fogars de Montclús
At the beginning of August, a small modification was made to the Tourdera route in the municipality of Fogars de Montclús. Specifically, the route has been simplified at a point between Mosqueroles and the Costa del Montseny, where there was a variant for hikers and one for bicycles, which have now been combined into a single path.
Montseny, a natural space with high biodiversity
The Montseny is a protected natural space that represents an important source of biodiversity for our country. In this massif, you will find everything represented from Mediterranean lowland ecosystems to subalpine environments of the highest peaks, passing through humid mid-mountain forests. And if you do the Tourdera in its sections through the Montseny, you will easily see it, passing from Mediterranean holm oak forests on the sunny slopes to beech forests in the cooler and wetter areas.
Permanent and audiovisual exhibitions at the offices and information points of the Montseny National Park
Did you know that you can visit various permanent exhibitions and audiovisuals at the different offices and information points of the Montseny Natural Park? We encourage you to do a stretch of the Tourdera and discover more anecdotes and stories of the Montseny massif, declared a Biosphere Reserve since 1978. In this article, we summarize the main exhibitions and audiovisuals that you will find in the municipalities where the Tourdera takes place.
The Patxot Universe: a highly recommended visit to complement the Tourdera.
Today we propose a visit to Mosqueroles, to the administrative headquarters of the Montseny Natural Park, Masia Mariona. If you are thinking of doing any section of the Tourdera from Fogars de Montclús (Mosqueroles) or finishing in this beautiful town, you should know that at Masia Mariona you will find an exhibition about the scientific and patronage work of Rafael Patxot i Jubert, which deals with the Catalan farmhouse, the relationship with hiking, meteorology, astronomy, and popular songbooks.
Modification of the route between Mosqueroles and Sant Esteve de Palautordera
This week, the signage for the modified route section between Mosqueroles and Sant Esteve de Palautordera has been completed. Specifically, the section between the Tordera River and Santa Magdalena had to be modified due to conflicts between route users and local property owners. Currently, if you want to visit the Castle while doing the Tourdera, you must detour about 600m from the itinerary and return to resume it.
Fogars de Montclús opens a new section of the Tourdera
This November, we are premiering a new active section of the Tordera route. This is the third one, this time in the municipality of Fogars de Montclús, a section approximately 12 kilometers long that will allow you to connect the centers of Montseny and Mosqueroles, passing through the Costa del Montseny.
